Léon Bazile Perrault BiographyFrench Academic Classical painter Also known as: Leon Jean Basile Perrault.
|
|||||||
Léon-Jean-Bazille Perrault
was a mid-nineteenth century artist who
preoccupied himself with the treatment of
subjects that reinforced the affluent
bourgeoisie in their desire to have
beautiful paintings adorning their homes.
Inspired by his teachers, François-Édouard
Picot and
William-Adolphe Bouguereau, master
painters of the academic style of the
nineteenth-century, Perrault continued
emphasizing mythology and idealization found
in their compositions, in his own paintings.
In following these two painters, Léon Bazile Perrault
was also showing his reverence for
eighteenth century artists such as
Jean-Antoine Watteau and François Boucher
who also idealized their subjects. |
Perrault continued to exhibit at the Salons until the end of his career. In 1887 Léon Bazile Perrault was awarded France’s high honor and named Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur. At the Expositions Universelles of 1889 and 1900, Léon Bazile Perrault received a bronze and silver medal, respectively. Léon Bazile Perrault also exhibited in Vienna, London, Boston, and Philadelphia and won numerous medals in these exhibitions, and was later appointed – in 1873 - to represent France as "Diplômât d'honneur" to Vienna, Philadelphia and London. Léon Bazile Perrault also became a member of the Société des Artistes Français and by the end of his career was “hors concours” at the Salon, allowing him to exhibit freely without the necessity of submitting work for jury acceptance. Léon Bazile Perrault died in 1908 in Royan. | |||||||
Perrault found a niche for his painting in the
periods of the Second and Third Republic
with his images of unrestrained beauty and
decadence, appealing to a public who sought
to assuage their wounds from political
uprisings and wars which saw France either
defeated from within or by an enemy from
abroad. |

For a moment his audience could enjoy a dream-like environment of sheer luxury and elegance. Today examples of Perrault's work can be seen in the museums of Bordeaux, Poitiers, La Rochelle and Stuttgart. |
