Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret, born on January 7, 1852, is considered one of the most brilliant stars in the sky of 19th century French art. He left the world a wealth of breathtaking artworks that are being brought back to life today in high-quality art prints. An outstanding exponent of the naturalist school, Dagnan-Bouveret had a special flair for capturing the subtle nuances of life and the natural world. Born and raised on the windy streets of Paris, Dagnan-Bouveret grew up with his grandfather after his father emigrated to Brazil. It was a bond so deep that he later added his grandfather's name, Bouveret, to his own. He began his artistic training in 1869 at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he learned the basics of artistic expression under the watchful eye of Alexandre Cabanel and Jean Leon Gerome.
Dagnan-Bouveret developed his talent and unique artistic style in a remarkable journey that took him from painting vivid scenes of Brittany to intimate depictions of rural and religious life. At the Salon, the heart of the French art world, he earned wide acclaim for his works, winning a First Class Medal in 1880 for his painting "An Accident" and a Medal of Honor in 1885 for "Horses at the Watering Trough." These awards underscore his prominent position among the leading artists of his time. From the 1880s, Dagnan-Bouveret ran a studio in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a fashionable suburb of Paris, together with Gustave Courtois. Here he devoted himself to creating impressive works of art, from vivid peasant scenes to striking religious compositions that have been given a new life in fine art prints. His masterful painting "The Last Supper" was exhibited at the Salon de Champ-de-Mars in 1896 and is a testament to his unparalleled ability to captivate and inspire viewers. Dagnan-Bouveret was ahead of his time, recognizing the possibilities of the then-new medium of photography to add realism to his paintings. For his outstanding contributions to art, he was made an Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1891 and elected a member of the Institut de France in 1900. Many of his works, including "The Madonna and Child" (1880), "Dans Le Foret" and a copy of "La Cene" (The Last Supper), found their way into the collection of the British art collector George McCulloch.
