Life
Bastet attended the École des Beaux-Arts in his hometown, where he was a student of the sculptor Aimé Charles Ivory . With his support, Bastet later came to Paris to the École des Beaux-Arts there, where he a. a. studied with Alexandre Cabanel .
As a master student of Cabanels, he was soon admitted to the major annual exhibitions of the Salon de Paris . In 1885 some of his works were awarded prizes and he received the prestigious Prix de Rome . Associated with this award was a travel grant that Bastet used for longer study trips through North Africa and British India .
In 1919 Bastet - as the successor to the late Jules Bernard - was to become curator at the Musée de Grenoble . After lengthy, controversial discussions, Andry-Farcy was finally chosen . From then on, Bastet refused any office or public duties and devoted himself only to his artistic work.
Through his friend and colleague Théodore Ravanat , Bastet made the acquaintance of Jean Achard and joined - together with Ravanat - his circle of artists, the École dauphinoise .
Four weeks after his 84th birthday, Tancrède Bastet died in Grenoble and found his final resting place there.
