Anthelme Trimolet
Anthelme Claude Honoré Trimolet (8 May 1798 - 17 December 1866) was a French painter, notable for portraits and interiors with figures. Biography Trimolet was born in Lyon, the son of a draftsman. While still very young, he was enrolled at the École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon. At the age of ten, he was assigned to the Special School of Design and studied with Pierre Révoil until 1813. He received a gold laurel in 1815 and had his first exhibition at the Salon in 1819 with his "Interior of a Mechanic's Workshop". From that year until 1830, he taught drawing at the Royal College, becoming a professor in 1820. He was also interested in archaeology and ivory carving. In his historical paintings, he focused on scenes from the Middle Ages. As an illustrator, he produced scenes from the ''Henriade'' of Voltaire. In his essay "The Painter of Modern Life," Charles Baudelaire referred to Trimolet as a "chronicler of poverty and the humble life". Occasionally, he worked as a ...

Self-portrait Anthelme Trimolet
A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by that artist. Although self-portraits have been made since the earliest times, it is not until the Early Renaissance in the mid-15th century that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work. With better and cheaper mirrors, and the advent of the panel portrait, many painters, sculptors and printmakers tried some form of self-portraiture. ''Portrait of a Man in a Turban'' by Jan van Eyck of 1433 may well be the earliest known panel self-portrait. He painted a separate portrait of his wife, and he belonged to the social group that had begun to commission portraits, already more common among wealthy Netherlanders than south of the Alps. The genre is venerable, but not until the Renaissance, with increased wealth and interest in the individual as a subject, did it become truly popular.

Dutch Masters
Dutch Golden Age painting is the painting of the Dutch Golden Age, a period in Dutch history roughly spanning the 17th century, during and after the later part of the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) for Dutch independence. The new Dutch Republic was the most prosperous nation in Europe and led European trade, science, and art. The northern Netherlandish provinces that made up the new state had traditionally been less important artistic centres than cities in Flanders in the south. The upheavals and large-scale transfers of population of the war, and the sharp break with the old monarchist and Catholic cultural traditions, meant that Dutch art had to reinvent itself almost entirely, a task in which it was very largely successful. The painting of religious subjects declined very sharply, but a large new market for all kinds of secular subjects grew up. Although Dutch painting of the Golden Age is included in the general European period of Baroque painting, and often shows many o ...
