A painter in a highly detailed, traditional style, Ernest Narjot painted landscapes, mining scenes, portraits, and several murals for churches and public buildings. By the 1880s, he was considered one of California's foremost painters and also illustrated books of early California life.
He was born in St. Malo, France with the full name of Ernest Etienne Narjot and was raised in Paris by artist parents. He received formal art training there but was distracted from that pursuit (showing 500 of 1862 characters). |
