son of parents from the petty bourgeoisie. If it is through the photographic medium and the technical improvements that he brought to it that Gustave Le Gray became famous, he nevertheless remains a &quot; <em>painter by training and vocation<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/em>&nbsp;&quot;. After turning his back on his father&#39;s wishes to see him become a notary, Gustave Le Gray in 1842 became a pupil of Paul Delaroche (1797 \u2013 1856), professor at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, himself trained among others in the studio of Antoine Jean Gros (1771 \u2013 1835) and Jacques Louis David (1748 \u2013 1825). He left for Italy in 1843, and arrived in Rome in 1844, the year in which he married Palmira Maddalena Gertrude Leonardi in the church of San Giacomo in Augusta. The couple had six children, of whom only one, Romain, survived into adulthood, and lived in Paris from 1847 to 1860. In 1860, Gustave Le Gray left France for Palermo, in the company of Alexandre Dumas, then traveled to Catania, Malta, Alexandria, Beirut, Damascus, before settling in Cairo, where he died in 1884.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><br><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08f7a27 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"08f7a27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Marc-Labarbe_281021_599-scaled-pwjhhoxlw7qhq0o6c886nv6bl4k6pk45v0l01ky8ww.jpg\" title=\"Marc-Labarbe_281021_599\" alt=\"Marc-Labarbe_281021_599\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a10d5a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a10d5a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65da7b6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"65da7b6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cb975dc ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"cb975dc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8eefe59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8eefe59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">The painted work of Gustave Le Gray remains to this day relatively <strong>confidential<\/strong>, and few canvases have come down to us. In 2002, in the book written on the occasion of the artist&#39;s monographic exhibition, Sylvie Aubenas, Chief Curator in the Department of Prints and Photography at the National Library of France, still pointed out that on this date, no painting had been identified<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[2]<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Gustave Le Gray, alongside his activity as a photographer, never stopped painting all his life, in Paris or in the East. Portraits or Orientalist scenes remain his favorite subject. As he realizes the <em>Portrait of Madame GL<\/em> at the age of 33, it was at the age of 49 that he executed, on the order of the Pasha of Egypt, that of the Empress Eug\u00e9nie. It&#39;s under the title <em>Portrait of Madame GL<\/em> that our oil on canvas was presented at the Salon des Artistes Vivants in 1853, the year when among some 1200 works<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[3]<\/a> selected by the jury are presented the famous <em>Tepidarium<\/em>\u00a0by Th\u00e9odore Chass\u00e9riau (1819 \u2013 1856) the<em> Battle of the Cimbri<\/em>\u00a0by Fran\u00e7ois Joseph Heim (1787 \u2013 1865) or the <em>Daphnis and Chloe<\/em> by Jean-L\u00e9on G\u00e9r\u00f4me (1824 \u2013 1904).
