Benoît-Agnes Trioson (1800)

By Anne-Louis Girodet, this is Portrait of Benoît-Agnes Trioson. The portrait is of the son of Girodet's main patron; more can be read about the painting here (en Français).


Girodet was firmly rooted in the Neoclassic tradition. He was a student of Jacques-Louis David, generally considered the most prominent of the Neoclassicists. But his work clearly moved in the direction of Romanticism. Here is Girodet's self-portrait from 1790.
