Leon Joseph Florentin Bonnat was a French painter born in 1833. He grew up not far from the Basque coast, in Bayonne, a town in the southwest of France, near the border with Spain. Early on, the talented painter was drawn to Madrid, where he was taught painting as a student of Federico de Madrazo y Kuntz. Frederico Madrazo was an important artist of the Romantic period and for years he directed one of the most important art museums in the world, the Museo del Prado. At the age of 21 Bonnat moved from Madrid to the French capital Paris. Here he worked in the studio of Léon Cogniet. Cogniet was a representative of neoclassicism and romanticism. The painter learned at a young age from the most famous artists of the time and continued to educate himself.
Paris became his new home. Initially known for his harmonious history paintings, the painter Leon Joseph Florentin Bonnat, a mature artist, later devoted himself to portrait painting. He had achieved a good reputation in Parisian society and painted portraits of famous personalities, such as the actor Alix Pasca, or the writer Victor Hugo, who is still world famous today. Even the French president Jules Grévy had a portrait of himself made by Bonnat. The expressiveness and energy that his paintings radiated earned him great admiration throughout his life. Among his most famous paintings are Adam and Eve finding the body of Abel, Neapolitan peasants in front of the Farnese Palace in Rome, Vincent de Paula removing the chains of a galley slave or Crucified Christ. Many works are now exhibited in museums.
In 1915, seven years before his death, Bonnat was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . Two years later he was also named an honorary member of the National Academy of Design. The New York art museum, rich in tradition, already maintained an art academy at that time and supported young talent. Leon Bonnat also took care of the education of young artists. With great love and irrepressible dedication Bonnat taught his students the subject of painting. Students from all over the world took lessons with him. There were for example: Goseda Yoshimatsu, a Japanese painter, the Serbian painter Milan Milovanović, the Norwegian Edvard Munch, Richard Reimans from Holland or the French-born Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. All these artists, and there were many more, made careers as respected painters. Bonnat died at the age of 89 in Monchy-Saint-Éloi, a small French community just outside the capital, Paris.
