Alexandre Defaux
ARTISTAlexandre Defaux (1826–1900) was a French artist. Defaux was born in Bercy, on the outskirts of Paris and is an important figure of the second generation of Barbizon School painters in the lineage of Jean-Baptiste Corot - whose pupil he was - and Jean-François Millet. He painted almost exclusively in the Barbizon region or in Normandy and his early landscapes reflect Corot's influence with large urban panoramic views and figures in Neapolitan peasant costume. In the 1850s Defaux painted several views of Normandy towns and large medieval churches.
