View of the Villa Medici and Sta Trinità dei Monti from Ingres's Studio in the Pavillon San Gaetano, Rome
1819
Achille-Etna Michallon French, 1796-1822
France
A pupil of Jacques-Louis David and of the landscape painter Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, Michallon was
the first to be awarded the Prix de Rome for historical landscape in 1817. He studied at the French Academy in Rome between 1818 and 1821; this view from Ingres’s famous studio sports a still life of the artist’s shaving equipment, hairbrush, and painter’s box.
