Willem Maris
Willem Maris (18 February 1844 – 10 October 1910) was a Dutch landscape painter of the Hague School. Biography He was born in The Hague. Willem was the third in a family of five children. His two brothers Jacob and Matthijs Maris preceded him as painters. In literature he is often characterized as a self-taught man, and Maris described his early study years as follows: "From the time I was young I worked outdoors. Even before I was twelve I would sit in the meadow and watch the cows before and after school. As my brothers were older than me, naturally I got part of my training from them, and in the winters I went to the Academy of Art, where I often drew from plaster models and also often practiced drawing in perspective. In the summer I always studied outdoors, and in the winter in the stable." Maris also received advice from the cattle painter , who gave him work to copy. In 1862, Maris made his debut with ''Cows on the Heath'', which may have been painted in Oosterbeek, wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fernand Cormon
Fernand Cormon (24 December 1845 – 20 March 1924) was a French painter born in Paris. He became a pupil of Alexandre Cabanel, Eugène Fromentin, and Jean-François Portaels, and one of the leading historical painters of modern France. Biography His father was the playwright Eugène Cormon. His mother was Charlotte Furais, the actress.

The Musée d'Orsay has his ''Cain fleeing before Jehovah's Curse''; and for the Mairie of the fourth arrondissement of Paris he executed in grisaille a series of panels: ''Birth, Death, Marriage, War'', etc. ''A Chiefs Funeral'', and a series of large paintings for the Museum of natural history in Paris with themes from the Stone Age, occupied him for several ...
