biography
Born as the son of Theodore and Suzanne geb. Tallichet, Arlaud received his first painting lessons from his cousins, the miniature painters Louis Ami Arlaud-Jurine and Jérémie Arlaud in Geneva . Arlaud came to Paris in 1797 , where he worked in the studio of the miniaturist Antoine Louis Romanet, after which he became a pupil of Jacques-Louis David in 1799 . He had to leave France in 1811 because of a thought crime against the Napoleon regime. In Lausanne he opened a studio and taught drawing. After a drawing school had been founded in Lausanne on May 18, 1821, Arlaud was appointed director of the school on December 10, 1822 and held the post for life.
Arlaud donated 34,000 francs for the construction of a municipal museum of fine arts. The Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne , which opened on January 1, 1841, bore his name until 1906. Marc-Louis Arlaud was a member of a Masonic Lodge.
