Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889) was a French painter known for his mastery of the academic style, particularly in his historical and mythological works. Born in Montpellier, France, Cabanel studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and became one of the leading academic painters of his time.
Cabanel's work is characterized by its classical elegance, technical precision, and romantic sensibility. His most famous painting, "The Birth of Venus," epitomizes the idealized beauty and graceful composition that were hallmarks of the academic tradition. Cabanel was also a respected portrait painter, capturing the likenesses of prominent figures of his era. In addition to his painting, Cabanel was a dedicated teacher, influencing a new generation of artists through his role as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts.
