Collection: Jean Hippolyte Flandrin
Jean Hippolyte Flandrin (1809–1864) was a French Neoclassical painter. Born in Lyon, he later died in Rome. Flandrin was a significant figure within the École de Lyon and a representative of academic neoclassicism, often associated with the artistic circle of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.
Flandrin's oeuvre encompassed portraits and decorative works executed in a classicist style. His Jeune Homme Nu Assis au Bord de la Mer (1836), a notable example of his figure painting, is housed in the Louvre. He also produced landscapes, such as Paysage (Campagne de Rome) (1840), and portraits like René-Charles Dassy and His Brother Jean-Baptiste-Claude-Amédé Dassy (1850).
Flandrin was the brother of painter Paul Jean Flandrin. His academic approach to painting contributed to the prevailing artistic currents of 19th-century France.
