About Paul Delaroche

1797–1856France

Delaroche was known as the leader of the contemporary French school of history painting during his lifetime. His work is characterized by scrupulous accuracy in historical detail and a technique that incorporates a glossy finish. His compositions are highly theatrical, imitating waxworks or stage tableaux. He sometimes made wax or plaster models to help him achieve the best arrangement of the figures. French painter, Paris. Comment on works: genre
