Jehan Georges Vibert

Jean -Georges Vibert, also Jehan - Georges Vibert ( born September 30, 1840 in Paris, † July 28, 1902 ) was a French painter.

Vibert studied at the École des Beaux -Arts and at Félix Joseph Barrias and François -Edouard Picot and began with mythological scenes, but found the late 1860s in humorous genre pictures, some with figures from the 17th and 18th centuries, the actual field of its activity.

His distinguished by elegant design and a vibrant, colorful color main works are:

• Intrusiveness,
• The departure of the newly married couple,
• The first-born,
• The admonition,
• The Cicada and the Ant,
• The new Commission,
• The Serenade,
• The Toilet of Madonna, an auction and a portrait of the actor
• Coquelin in a roll of the " Précieuses ridicules ".

An exceptional position among his works takes the large -figured picture of the Apotheosis of Thiers (1878, in the Musée du Luxembourg ) one on which the weeping of the bereaved France body of the deceased is surrounded by two vision -like representations which the burning Paris at the time of the Commune describe and Thiers ' funeral in numerous figures. Vibert has also painted many watercolors of spirited characteristics.
