Brief Biography-François-Joseph Navez from Charleroi first studied at the Brussels Académie. In 1812, he won an allowance to go to Paris, where he studied under Jacques-Louis David, who strongly influenced his work. Then, with the assistance of David, he won a scholarship to go to Italy, where he studied for four years until 1821. In Italy, he became influenced by the works of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and mixed his style with Italian inspiration. Two of his many students were Jean Portaels, his son-in-law, and Alfred Stevens, the Belgium realist painter. |
