Theodore Chasseriau was a French romantic painter. His father was a Frenchman who held an administrative position in what was then a French colony, and his mother was the daughter of a Creole landowner. The family moved to Paris in 1821, where the young Chasseriau soon showed precocious drawing skill. He was accepted into the studio of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres at the age of eleven, becoming the favorite pupil of the great classicist, whom he joined at Rome in 1840. Within a few years, however, Chasseriau fell under the influence of Eugene Delacroix, whose brand of painterly colorism was anathema to Ingres, who was bitter at the direction Chasseriau's art was taking and sealed the breach. Chasseriau's art has often been characterized as an attempt to reconcile the classicism of Ingres with the romanticism of Delacroix. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1836.

We do not compromise on material costs - our canvas is imported from the USA, and prepared in London, England. Reproduction prints come on titanum primed genuine artist's canvas. They are waterproof and archival, reproducing excellent fine details and color. Overall canvas size is 16.54" by 11.69" (420mm by 297mm), and image size is slightly smaller to account for an approximate one inch border. Canvases come unframed and unmounted, and although they may be stretched, this is not at all necessary. These exquisite canvases are suited to traditional framing, and look great with or without glass, depending on personal preference.
