Jules-Élie Delaunay
French painter (1828–1891)
Jules-Élie Delaunay (French:[dəlonɛ]; June 13, 1828 – September 5, 1891) was a French academicpainter.
Biography
He was born at Nantes in the Loire-Atlantiquedépartement of France. Delaunay studied under Flandrin, and at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris under Lamothe. He worked in the classicist manner of Ingres until, after winning the Prix de Rome, he went to Italy; in 1856, and abandoned the ideal of Raphaelesque perfection for the sincerity and severity of the quattrocentists.[1]
After his return from Rome he was entrusted with many important commissions for decorative paintings, such as the frescoes in the church of St Nicholas at Nantes; the three panels of Apollo, Orpheus and Amphion at the Paris Opera house; and twelve paintings for the great hall of the council of state in the Palais Royal.[1]
