Anne-François-Louis Janmot Biography

French artist
born 1814 - died 1892

Student of: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867)

French painter and poet. Anne François Louis Janmot belonged to the Lyon school of painting, characterized by idealistic and mystical tendencies similar to those of the Nazarenes and the Pre-Raphaelites. His Christian beliefs, which are very apparent in his art, were strongly influenced by neo-Catholic apologists. From 1831 Louis Janmot painter studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon.

In 1833 Louis Janmot went to Paris, where the painter became a student of Victor Orsel at the École des Beaux-Arts. He also attended Ingres's studios in Paris and Rome.

His technique was deeply indebted to Ingres, but emotionally and intellectually he was more closely allied with Delacroix, whose enthusiasm for the literature of Dante and Shakespeare the painter shared. Louis Janmot painting style combined the precision of Ingres with the meditative devotion of Orsel. His predilection for heraldic compositions, based on symmetry and repetition, his use of About US and flattened form and his luminous colour were all influenced by a love of such early Italian artists as Giotto and Fra Angelico. Louis Janmot paintings style has much in common with that of fellow Lyonnais and pupil of Ingres, Hippolyte Flandrin.
