At the heart of the 19th century French art scene, an extraordinary artist, Dominique Louis Féréol Papety, unleashed his talent and created masterpieces that depict classical and contemporary Greek themes in an unparalleled way. Born on August 12, 1815, Papety became famous for his fascinating paintings and drawings that live on in stunningly detailed fine art prints. His work represents the early impetus of the Neo-Greek movement, which revolved around the depiction of themes from Greek history and culture. Born in Marseille, the son of a soap maker, Papety discovered his passion and talent for art at an early age. Under the tutelage of Augustin Aubert, he began his journey into the world of drawing, which eventually led him to the École des Beaux-arts in Paris. There he studied under Léon Cogniet and in 1836 shared with Charles Octave Blanchard the prestigious Prix de Rome, an award given for his impressive painting of Moses striking water from a stone with his staff.
Papety spent the years from 1837 to 1842 at the Villa Medici, where he honed his artistic skills under the tutelage of some of the art world's most renowned masters. Ingres, one of his teachers, recognized Papety's incomparable talent and once remarked, "...he was already a master when he touched a brush." His debut at the Salon in 1843 marked the beginning of his enduring presence and influence on the art scene. A profound transformation in Papety's art was triggered by his trips to Greece with his close friend François Sabatier-Ungher, an art critic with an interest in antiquities. On these trips Papety visited the monasteries on Mount Athos and made hundreds of drawings. The experiences and impressions he gathered in Greece inspired his most famous painting, Le Rêve du Bonheur (Dream of Happiness).Another trip to Greece in 1847 led him to produce sketches that were later used to decorate the Panthéon in Paris. He documented archaeological sites and studied local customs and costumes. All of these studies and his deep immersion in Greek culture attest to his passion for Greece and his ability to capture that love in stunning fine art prints. Despite his tireless work and remarkable artistic contributions, Papety's life was abruptly ended by a tragic illness, cholera. He died in his hometown in 1849.
