Jean-Paul Laurens
Jean-Paul Laurens (; 28 March 1838 – 23 March 1921) was a French painter and sculptor, and one of the last major exponents of the French Academic style. Biography Laurens was born in Fourquevaux and was a pupil of Léon Cogniet and Alexandre Bida. Strongly anti-clerical and republican, his work was often on historical and religious themes, through which he sought to convey a message of opposition to monarchical and clerical oppression. His erudition and technical mastery were much admired in his time, but in later years his highly realistic technique, coupled to a theatrical ''mise-en-scène'', came to be regarded by some art-historians as overly didactic. More recently, however, his work has been re-evaluated as an important and original renewal of history painting, a genre of painting that was in decline during Laurens' lifetime. Laurens was commissioned to paint numerous public works by the French Third Republic, including the steel vault of the Paris City Hall, the monu ...

Jean-Joseph Bonaventure Laurens
Jean-Joseph Bonaventure Laurens (14 July 1801, Carpentras – 28 June 1890, Montpellier) was regarded by some as a "universal spirit", as attested not only by his Oil painting, paintings, watercolours and lithographs, but also by his vocation as a musician, archeologist, geologist and theorist.

From the ages 1 to 18, Laurens did not have his sights on an administrative career. He was far too busy being a young child. A musician and great lover of music, he came into contact with the foremost composers of the time (Felix Mendelssohn, Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Franz Liszt, Stephen Heller, etc.) and participated in the 19th-century German rediscovery of Johann Sebastian Bach, often called the Bach Revival or Awakening.
