Born on 21 December 1815: Thomas Couture,
French Academic history, portrait, and genre painter who died on 30 March
1879.
— Couture studied under Baron Antoine-Jean
Gros and Paul
Delaroche. Won Prix de Rome in 1837. Was very popular as a teacher.
His pupils included Edouard
Manet, Jean-François
Millet, Puvis
de Chavannes, William
Morris Hunt, and John
La Farge.
— A pupil of Gros
and Delaroche, Couture is chiefly remembered for his vast “orgy”
picture The
Romans of the Decadence, which was the sensation of the Salon of
1847. Like other “one-picture painters”, his reputation has sunk
with that of his big work, which now if often cited as the classic example
of the worst type of bombastic academic painting, impeccable in every detail
and totally false in overall effect. His more informal works, however, are
often much livelier in conception and technique, for as a teacher he encouraged
direct study from landscape.

instead of in a studio). He is best remembered for paintings of life in the
countryside. — The
