Biography from Papillon Gallery:
| Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Antoine Calbet, a student of Alexandre Cabanel, was highly regarded as
painter and illustrator of nudes and genre scenes. His subject
matter and treatment of the human figure reflect an eighteenth century,
Rococo influence, often including naturalistic, pastoral scenes
depicted in a manner exuding lightness, elegance, and decorative charm.
Beginning
in 1880, Calbet exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français,
eventually becoming a member, and earning medals in 1891, 1892, 1893,
and 1900.
Calbet provided numerous illustrations, notably:
Aphrodite by P. Louys, Madame Neigeon by E. Zola, and Le Jardub de
Berenice by M. Barres.
