Jacques-Laurent Agasse
1767-1849 Switzerland
|
Brief Biography-Jacques-Laurent Agasse was born into a wealthy family in Geneva, where he studied art from an early age. He went on to further his studies in Paris in 1787, and there, he was a pupil of Jacques-Louis David. His interests were primarily studies of animals. In 1800, an Englishman, George Pitt, 2nd Baron Rivers, impressed by his work, took him on as his patron and brought him to England to paint his horses and greyhounds. He spent his last twenty years in London; however, he died in relative poverty. |
