Anne-Louis Girodet
Anne-Louis Girodet Wiki

One of the most extraordinary paintings that I have ever viewed is the “Apotheosis” by Anne-Louis Girodet (1767-1824). His impression of transparency, ghosting, blending techniques, treatment of sharp and soft areas and his precise degree of luminance make this painting a piece of art far beyond the realm of what imagination can fathom, even in modern times. For these reasons, this month I am a spotlighting this highly skillful master who enjoyed combining Neoclassicist subject matter with Romanticist nuance and technique, giving this work his personal spin. For those going to Paris soon, I believe it’s hanging at the Musée National du Château de Malmaison.
