0065. Innocence choosing love over wealth

CornTown on March 10, 2010

By Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1788-1823)
Circa. 1804
Romanticism

Prud'hon was at times clearly influenced by Neo-classicism, at other times by Romanticism. Appreciated by other artists and writers like Stendhal, Delacroix, Millet and Baudelaire, for his chiaroscuro and convincing realism. Prud'hon is probably most famous for his work Crucifixion (1822), which he painted for St. Etienne's Cathedral in Metz, France. Crucifixion now hangs in the Louvre.
