Jean-Louis Hamon
Jean-Louis Hamon (born May 5, 1821 in Plouha , Département Côtes-d'Armor , † May 29, 1874 in Saint-Raphaël , Département Var ) was a French painter.
Hamon went to Paris at the age of 20 and apprenticed to Paul Delaroche and later to Charles Gleyre . The sight of drawings after Pompeian murals gave his striving a certain direction, and with luck he knew his own genre, the so-called. New Pompeian, to create.
In 1852 he was employed as a painter in the porcelain factory in Sèvres . In the exhibition in 1849 there was an original painting: a Roman theater bill, which attracted attention; The comedy of human life appeared in 1852 and in 1853 my sister is not here , an idyll that applies to the painter's most successful work.
His later pictures include Ich bin nicht and Die Orphenkinder (1855).
