He won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1894 and studied for two years at the Villa Medici in Rome. When he returned from Italy he exhibited almost every year in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français, of which he became a member in 1904. He won a second-class medal in 1898 and a bronze in 1900 at the Exposition Universelle. He was a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1906 to 1939. He illustrated many books, including Balzac’s Eugénie Grandet (1911); Casanova de Seingalt’s Mémoires (1925); Alphonse Daudet’s Sappho (1925); Flaubert’s A Simple Heart (1913); Corinthian Weddings (1902); Goethe’s Werther; J.

He was a sought-after portrait artist (his sitters included Anatole France and Louis Barthou) and also painted historical and religious subjects (mosaics for the Sacré-Coeur) and genre scenes. He drew his inspiration from the life of Paris during the Belle Époque, nudes, and dancers, and between 1906 and 1913 he painted many bright views of Brittany, which he visited every year. The year after his death in 1955 a large retrospective of his work was held at the Grand Palais in Paris.

La Toilette - Post-Impressionist Nude Oil Painting by Georges D Espagnat
By Georges d Espagnat
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Signed oil on original canvas nude circa 1914 by French post impressionist painter Georges D'espagnat. The work depict a nude woman standing beside a wash basin in a boudoir. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 45"x34" Unframed: 37"x26" Provenance: Private collection - Netherlands From the beginning of his career, it was a constant concern of Georges d'Espagnet to assert his originality. His studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, did not last very long, for he wanted immediate independence and decided to follow courses in the private academies of Montparnasse. In about 1900, he became acquainted with Maurice Denis, Bonnard and Vuillard, and his collaboration with Denis led to a renewal of religious art in France. In 1903, d'Espagnet was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934. He illustrated a number of books: Rémy de Gourmont's Evil Prayers ( Oraisons mauvaises) (1896), The Saints of Paradise ( Les Saintes du paradis) (1898), Simone (1907), Sistine ( Sixtine) (1922); Alphonse Daudet's The Immortal ( L'Immortel) (1930); André Gide's The Pastoral Symphony ( La Symphonie pastorale); Francis Jammes' Clearings in the Sky ( Chairières dans le ciel) (1948). D'Espagnet belongs to the group of artists who made the Courrier Français so successful. The drawings of his which are published in it are strongly expressive and some bear comparison with the designs of the great Renaissance masters. He also contributed to L'Image. He often placed cheerful nudes in a landscape, reminding us that, though he moved away from the Fauves, he retained their freedom of colour and arabesque. He painted many portraits, including those of Albert André, André Barbier, Victor Boucher, Déodat de Séverac, Albert Marque, André Marty and Albert Roussel. He also painted mural decorations, including a wall for the Palais de la Découverte (1937), the ceiling of the Victor Hugo Room in the Palais du Luxembourg (1939), a decorative panel for the Palais de Justice, Toulouse (1941) and interior decorations for private houses. His landscapes are Impressionist in inspiration, and work for a certain sobriety, an intimacy, both in their composition - one, two or three sketched figures and large open spaces - and in the choice of colours and treatment with the special hazy brushstroke that marks his style. D'Espagnet took part in a number of annual Parisian exhibitions, including the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, the Salon d'Automne (from 1903 to 1949, except in special circumstances), the Salon de la Libre Ésthétique, Brussels (1899, 1901), the Berlin Secessionists (1940). He also exhibited at the first Salon de la Société de la Gravure sur Bois. Among other exhibitions were 1912, A Century of French Art ( Centenaire de l'art français), St Petersburg; 1916, Kunstverein, Winterthur; 1918, 1926, Galerie M. Bertheim, Paris; 1930, Contemporary French Art...
