Charles Gleyre was a Swiss artist
who was born on May 2, 1806 and died on May 5, 1874. Born in Chevilly near Lausanne,
he was raised by an uncle in Lyon, France after his parents died when he was eight
years old.
Before moving to Paris, Gleyre began his formal artistic education
under Jean-Claude Bonnefond in Lyon, and after moving to Paris, he entered École
des Beaux-Arts under Louis Hersent. He also attended the Academie Suisse, where
he studied watercolor technique at Richard Parkes Bonington's studio.
Then Gleyre
went to Italy, where he became acquainted with Horace Vernet and Louis Léopold
Robert. They left Italy in the spring of
1834, and traveled to Greece, Turkey and Egypt, where they remained together
until November 1835. Then, Gleyre continued to travel to around Egypt and Syria
without returning to France until 1838, and returned to Lyon due to health
problems.
In 1843, Gleyre became influential
as an art teacher by acquiring the studio of Paul Delaroche, which was then a famous
teaching atelier in Paris. He taught many younger artists who become famous
later, including Jean-Léon Gérôme, Jean-Louis Hamon, Auguste Toulmouche, James
Abbott McNeill Whistler, Louis-Frederic Schützenberger, Henry-Lionel Brioux, Claude
Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and Frédéric Bazille.
On May 5, 1874, Gleyre died
suddenly while visiting the Retrospective Exhibition, opened on behalf of the
exiles from Alsace and Lorraine.
