Oil on canvas, 19th century French school attributed to Marius GRANET (1775-1849) [by expert René Millet - Paris] - Hermit in his cell - Painted wooden frame - Dimensions: 50 x 60 cm - Living with painters Anne-Louis Girodet and Dominique Ingres in the disused Capuchin convent, Granet painted models of the cloister that would become his specialty. This attraction to cloisters earned him the nickname "Monk". In 1802, he traveled to Rome, where he sketched ancient monuments and painted scenes of artists' lives. He also made a name for himself with his church and convent interiors, painted in a very dark Dutch style, in contrast to his neoclassical training. He was awarded a gold medal at the Salon of 1808.
