Eugène Fromentin

Eugène Fromentin was born in La Rochelle on 24 October 1820. He trained in painting in the studio of Louis Cabat and exhibited for the first time at the Salon in 1847. His stays in Algeria provided the subjects of many paintings and of two travel narratives, which also made him a writer. A medallist at the Salon, he was also an art critic and in 1876 published a study of the old masters of Flemish and Dutch painting. He died on 27 August 1876.
