Description: | Signed: yes Description: A painter of animals, genre and landscapes, Lambert studied under Eugène Delacroix and Hippolyte Paul Delaroche at the Academy des Beaux Arts in Paris. He regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon, and after 1857 he became established as a painter of cats. He achieved a great commercial success during his life time and was named a knight in the Legion of Honour in 1874. This small close study of kittens is typical of his oeuvre and justifies the success that the meticulously painted animals brought him. | Subjects: | everyday life; animal (cat; kitten) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lambert, Eugène (French painter, 1825-1900) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8518... | Go to resource |
