Jean-Georges Vibert
Jean-Georges Vibert , also Jehan-Georges Vibert (born September 30, 1840 in Paris , † July 28, 1902 there ) was a French painter.
Vibert studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and with Félix-Joseph Barrias and François-Édouard Picot and began with mythological depictions, but found in humorous genre pictures in the late 1860s, some with characters from the 17th and 18th centuries, that actual field of his activity.
His main works, which are distinguished by their elegant drawing and lively, colorful coloring are:
- Intrusiveness,
- The departure of the newlyweds,
- The firstborn
- The admonition
- The cricket and the ant,
- The new clerk
- The serenade,
- The Madonna's Toilet, an auction and the portrait of the actor
- Coquelin in a role from the “Précieuses ridicules”.
An exceptional position among his works is the large figurative picture of Thiers' apotheosis (1878, in the Musée du Luxembourg ), on which the body of the deceased, mourned by mourning France, is surrounded by two visions of the burning Paris at the time of the Commune and depict Thiers' funeral procession in numerous figures. Vibert also painted many watercolors of witty character.
