| Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Theophile-Emmanuel Duverger was born in Bordeaux in 1821, and from
1846-1882 sent many of his genre paintings to the Salons of
Paris. He won honours for his work in 1861, 1863, and 1865.
The
artist was mostly self-taught, gaining experience through observations
of nature and inspiration from the grand painters that he examined in
museums. Duverger has been deemed “a specialist” in school or
vestry scenes. He was a compatriot of Paul Seignac’s, another
19th-century genre painter.
