- | {{Template}} | + | {{Template}}'''Pierre Paul Prud'hon''' ([[April 4]] [[1758]] - [[February 16]] [[1823]]) was a [[France|French]] Romantic [[painter]] and [[drawing|draughtsman]] best known for his allegorical paintings and portraits. Prud'hon was at times clearly influenced by [[Neo-classicism]], at other times by [[Romanticism]]. Appreciated by other artists and writers like [[Stendhal]], [[Delacroix]], [[Millet]] and [[Baudelaire]] for his [[chiaroscuro]] and convincing realism, he is probably most famous for his ''Crucifixion'' (1822), which he painted for [[St. Etienne]]'s [[Cathedral]] in [[Metz]]. ''Crucifixion'' now hangs in the [[Louvre]]. |
