He painted portraits, religious scenes, celebratory scenes and especially genre scenes. Biography Pierre-Paul-Léon Glaize (more briefly called "Léon") was born into a family of artists.

World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
