Louis Cabat
Louis-Nicolas Cabat (born December 6, 1812 in Paris , † March 13, 1893 ibid) was a French painter who devoted himself in particular to landscape painting.
Life
In particular, Cabat created landscapes influenced by John Constable , which were initially characterized by simple, natural motifs, later by conventional landscapes that tended to classicism . In addition, numerous stays in Italy, such as at Lake Nemisee, shaped his works, which made him one of the founders of the new French school of landscape painting.
Cabat, considered one of the early representatives of the Barbizon School , was one of the teachers of Eugène Fromentin .
Between 1879 and 1884 he was also director of the Académie de France à Rome , the Italian branch of the Académie des Beaux-Arts , which had been housed in the Villa Medici in Rome since 1803 .
His landscape paintings include Le Jardin Beaujon (1833), Chaumière normande animée and Étude de ciel au couchant
