Louis-Marie Baader
Louis-Marie Baader (20 June 1828, Lannion - 2 December 1920, Morlaix) was a French painter of German descent. Life The son of a German musician (serving in comte Jacques Boudin de Tromelin's regiment) and his Norman wife, the count saw Louis-Marie's artistic potential early and with his support he entered the École des beaux-arts in Paris in 1848, in Adolphe Yvon's studio. Initially he gained several church and private commissions, but he only exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1857 to 1914. In 1866 he won a medal for ''Hero and Leander'' and a third class medal in 1874 for ''Posthumous Glory'', allowing him to sell several paintings to the French state.

Morlaix
Morlaix (; br, Montroulez) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in northwestern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department. Leisure and tourism The old quarter of the town has winding streets of cobbled stones and overhanging houses constructed of stone and timber. Many have religious and secular sculptures on their façades. One of these houses is "la Maison dite de la duchesse Anne", or the "so-called Duchess Anne’s house", which is now a museum, open to the public. This house is said to be one of the oldest in the town. Local legend has it that it derives its name from the fact that the Duchesse Anne of Brittany visited the house during her Tro Breizh pilgrimage. This seems unlikely, though, as construction on the house started in the 1520s and Anne of Brittany died in 1514. ThMuseum of the Jacobinsin Morlaix, housed in a former convent, traces the history of Finistère. Morlaix is a popular location for sea sports enthusiasts with a diverse array ...

History Painter
History painting is a genre in painting defined by its subject matter rather than any artistic style or specific period. History paintings depict a moment in a narrative story, most often (but not exclusively) Greek and Roman mythology and Bible stories, opposed to a specific and static subject, as in portrait, still life, and landscape painting. The term is derived from the wider senses of the word ''historia'' in Latin and ''histoire'' in French, meaning "story" or "narrative", and essentially means "story painting". Most history paintings are not of scenes from history, especially paintings from before about 1850. In modern English, "historical painting" is sometimes used to describe the painting of scenes from history in its narrower sense, especially for 19th-century art, excluding religious, mythological, and allegorical subjects, which are included in the broader term "history painting", and before the 19th century were the most common subjects for history paintings.

Remorse (Baader Painting)
''Remorse'' ''(french: Le Remords)'' is an oil on canvas painting by Louis-Marie Baader. It is a very large canvas, 376 cm high and 295 cm wide. It was first exhibited at the Salon of 1875 and was purchased by the state from the artist. Subject The painting depicts an episode from Greek mythology. Orestes avenges the murder of his father Agamemnon by his mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus by killing them both. In the moment captured in the painting, Orestes looks down in horror at the bodies of the couple he has just murdered, while around him crowd the Erinyes. By painting both Orestes and Clytemnestra nude, Baader demonstrated his mastery of anatomy to the Academy and appealed to the public at the Salon, who were fond of sensual nudity. History When first purchased, the painting was displayed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Dole. It remained there until 1980, when it was assigned to the Louvre The Louvre ( ), or the Louvre Museum ( ), is the world's mo ...

19th-century French Painters
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the large S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
