Oil on canvas, French school of the XIXth century attributed to Marius GRANET (1775-1849) [by the expert René Millet - Paris] - Hermit in his cell - Painted wooden frame - Dimensions : 50 x 60 cm - Living in the company of the painters Anne-Louis Girodet and Dominique Ingres in the disused convent of the Capuchin monks, Granet painted models of the cloister which would remain his specialty. This attraction to cloisters earned him the nickname "monk". In 1802, he went to Rome where he drew ancient monuments and painted scenes from the life of artists. He also became known for his interiors of churches and convents, in a very dark Dutch style, in contrast to his neoclassical training. He received a gold medal at the Salon of 1808
