DELAROCHE, HIPPOLYTE, commonly known as PAUL (1797—1856), French
painter, was born in Paris on the 17th of July 1797. His father was an
expert who had made a fortune, to some extent, by negotiating and
cataloguing, buying and selling. He was proud of his son’s talent, and
able to forward his artistic education. The master selected was Gros,
then painting life-size histories, and surrounded by many pupils. In no
haste to make an appearance in the Salon, his first exhibited picture
was a large one, Josabeth saving Joas (1822). This picture led to his
acquaintance with Géricault and Delacroix, with whom he remained on the
most friendly terms, the three forming the central group of a numerous
body of historical painters, such as perhaps never before lived in one
locality and at one time. |
