About the Artist

A French painter born in Haute-Vienne, she was the first female artist admitted to the French Academy of Fine Arts. She painted still lifes, portraits, flowers, and landscapes, known for their strong compositions and vibrant colors. She is best known for her candid female nudes, depicting the female body from a woman's perspective. Her work attracted attention in part because the unidealized nudes subverted social norms of the time.
