Description: | Signed: yes Description: This work by Luminais, a specialist in genre scenes and history subjects, is typical of his oeuvre. Luminais drew his inspiration from the Middle Ages and British history, and the subject for this painting probably derives from a literary source. Luminais studied under Cogniet and Troyon and first exhibited at the Paris Salon at 1843. He was a founder member of the Société des Artistes Français and became very successful during his lifetime. He was named Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1869 and was awarded medals from the Salon on numerous occasions. He is well represented in museums worldwide, and examples of his work can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, J. Paul Getty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Amiens, Bordeaux, Rouen, Dijon and Toulouse. | Subjects: | literature; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Luminais, Evariste Vital (French painter, 1822-1896) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8519... | Go to resource |
