Emmanuel Benner
Emmanuel Benner (born March 28, 1836 in Mulhouse , Haut-Rhin department , † September 24, 1896 in Nantes , Loire-Atlantique department ) was a French painter .
Life
Emmanuel Benner was a son of the painter and textile designer Jean Benner-Fries and, like him, also initially worked as a textile designer in Mulhouse. He went to Paris - presumably with his twin brother Jean Benner - to study with Jean Jacques Henner and Léon Bonnat .
After the end of the Franco-Prussian War , Emmanuel Benner began to exhibit regularly in the Salon de Paris . His painting Le repos won the gold medal in the Salon of 1879. In 1896 he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor .
Benner painted allegorical, genre scenes, portraits, landscapes, still lifes and - like his twin brother - many female nudes. He also created numerous watercolors and drawings on various subjects.
In the art market today, up to $ 62,000 is paid for his oil paintings.
