Léon Joseph Florentin Bonnat – Thursday 20 June 1833 Bayonne, France to Friday 8 September 1922 Monchy-Saint-Éloi, France
French Academic Painter
My experience in the Sistine Chapel was somewhat different than the one being depicted in this Bonnat painting - Intérieur de la Chapelle Sixtine, circa 1877-1879 – I was certainly not alone with my thoughts and admiration.
Last Monday’s Artist - Katsushika Hokusai
Next Monday’s Artist – Joseph Mallord William Turner
