Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry


Zenobia Found
Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry (November 7 1828, La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée) - January 17 1886, Paris) was a French painter.

Biography

He studied under Michel Martin Drolling, a sound but second-rate artist, and carried off the "Prix de Rome" in 1850 by his picture of "Zenobia found on the banks of the Araxes". His talent from the first revealed itself as strictly academical, full of elegance and grace, but somewhat lacking originality. In the course of his residence in Italy Baudry derived strong inspiration from Italian art with the mannerism of Correggio, as was very evident in the two works he exhibited in the Salon of 1857, which were purchased for the Luxembourg: "The Martyrdom of a Vestal Virgin and The Child". His "Leda", "St John the Baptist", and a "Portrait of Beul", exhibited at the same time, took a first prize that year. Throughout this early period Baudry commonly selected mythological or fanciful subjects, one of the most noteworthy being "The Pearl and the Wave" (1862). Once only did he attempt an historical picture, "Charlotte Corday after the murder of Marat" (1861); and returned by preference to the former class of subjects or to painting portraits of illustrious men of his day: Guizot, Charles Garnier, Edmond About.
