Charles François Jalabert
ARTISTThe second half of the 19th century was a time of cultural awakening in Paris. Into this lively vortex stepped an artist whose works captured the pulse of the era - Charles François Jalabert. Born in the picturesque city of Nîmes in 1819, Jalabert quickly became a fixture in the higher circles of Parisian society, his presence a valued asset in Madame Sabatier's salon. A master of the academic style, Jalabert left posterity numerous works of imperishable beauty. Today, some of them adorn the walls of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nîmes, a venerable art print treasure house where the tradition of academic painting is kept alive.
