Rene-Joseph Gilbert (1858-1914)
[Rene Joseph Gilbert, Rene Gilbert]
Rene-Joseph Gilbert, who is one of the foremost of the pupils of the late Alexandre Cabanel,
was born in Paris, and is a thorough Parisian in his art. He is a
brilliant and powerful colorist, and his pictures reveal an amazing facility in the rendition of
textures, which, even in the black and white reproduction of "A Midsummer Siesta," can be distinctly
observed.
