Aimé Nicolas Morot (1850–1913) was a French painter in the Academic Art style. ==Biography== Aimé Nicolas Morot was born in Nancy on 16 June 1850,〔E. Benezit, 1976. Dictionnaire critique et documentaire des peintres, sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs. Volume 7, p. 553. Librairie Gründ. Paris, France. ISBN 9782700001495.〕 where at age 12 he started his studies in drawing, painting and gravure printing at l'Ecole Municipal de Dessin et de Peinture de Nancy under Mr. Thiéry〔Aimé Nicolas Morot and Charles Moreau-Vauthier, 1906. ''L'oeuvre de Aimé Morot: membre de l'Académie des Beaux-Arts''. Librairie Hachette et Cie., Paris. 7 p., 60 gravures, in folio.〕〔M. S. (1907). ''L'oeuvre de Aimé Morot (Ch. Moreau-Vauthier)''. Gazette des Beaux-Arts. 49e Année, 595e Livraison, 3e Periode. Tome XXXVII, p. 87-88. January issue, Paris.〕 and the director of the school Charles Sellier.〔〔H. Vollmer, B.C. Kreplin, L. Scheewe, H. Wolff and O. Kellner, 1931. Allgemeines Lexicon der Bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Moehring - Olivié 25th Edition (in German), Publ. Verlag von E.A. Seemann, Leipzig, Germany.〕 He continued his study in Nancy until the late 1860s and subsequently attended the atelier of Alexandre Cabanel at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris,〔〔Dupont Vicars (Ed.), 1901. (Master Painting's of the World ). The White City Art Co. (Publ.), Chicago, Ill. 192 p.〕 but could not study in the noisy environment of Cabanel's atelier and left after having received two corrections by Cabanel.〔 In the next two years he continued his studies independently studying in the Jardin des Plantes, where he developed his skills in observing and portraying animals.〔 Despite his lack of attendance at the École, he won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1873 with his first submission,〔 the Babylonian Captivity (''Super Flumina Babylonis''),〔T. Child, 1890. French painters, some modern. (Harper's New Monthly Magazine, December 1889 - May 1890. New York, LXXX(480):817-842 ).〕 which is currently in the collection of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and can be viewed upon request. The fellowship allowed him to travel to Italy and become a resident of the Villa Medici, where the French Academy in Rome was housed.〔 Morot rarely set foot in his atelier in the Villa Medici, but produced paintings in a regular fashion anyway.〔 His first submission to the Salon de Paris awarded him a third-class medal for the painting ''Spring (Printemps)'' in 1876.〔〔〔(Outremer (1877). The Aldine 8(8):260, 263-264 )〕 In 1877 He was awarded a second-class medal 〔 for ''Médée'', a first-class medal in 1879〔 for ''Les Ambronnes'' and the Medal of Honour for ''The Good Samaritan'' in 1880,〔〔〔(L.H. Hooper (1880). Art-Notes from Paris. The Schaus Purchases. The Prize Pictures at the Salon. The Art Journal (1875-1887), New Series 6:252-253. )〕 competing against ''Joan of Arc'' by the realist painter Jules Bastien-Lepage, who also studied under Cabanel. In Rome, he worked with a model named Victoria, who posed for his 1877 painting of ''Médée''. He returned to Paris in 1880, where he met painter Jean-Léon Gérôme and married Suzanne Mélanie Gérôme (1867-1941), one of the painter's four daughters, at the Mairie Drouot (Paris 9eme Arrondissement, civil) and in the Sainte-Trinité church in 1887.〔(Hippolyte Lesage (1895). Souvenirs d'un maire-adjoint de Paris: 1880-1895. Published by E. Flammarion. Paris. 326 p. )〕 His daughter Denise Morot was born in the late 1890s. Suzanne Morot modelled for paintings in 1897 and, together with her daughter, in 1904.〔 The family lived in a townhouse at Rue Weber 11 in Paris,〔 of which the garden resembled a zoo housing snakes, lions, panthers, leopards and other exotic animals.〔L. Thornton (1990). Les Africanistes, peintres voyageurs: 1860-1960. Art Creation Realisation International Edition, Paris, France. 336 p.〕 in the 1880s Morot worked at the Académie Julian, where he was a colleague of William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) with whom he co-supervised the British cartoonist and illustrator Sir Leonard Raven-Hill (1867-1935) in 1885 and 1886. After Gustave Moreau's death in 1898, he led Moreau's studio at the Institute. Theodor Pallady (1871-1956) and Gaston H. Boucart (1878-1962), former pupils of Gustave Moreau, continued their studies under Aimé Morot. In 1900 he won a grand prix of the l'Exposition Universelle (Paris Exhibition) and in the same year became professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.〔 Henry Golden Dearth (Bristol, 1864), a bronze medal winner at the same Paris Exhibition of 1900, was one of his British students,〔(American Art News 17(2):1-8 )〕 as were Dawson Dawson-Watson (1864-1939) and James Whitelaw Hamilton (1860-1932). His American apprentice artists included Benjamin Foster (1852-1926), George Henry Bogert (1864-1944) and Herbert Haseltine (1877-1962). In 1910 Morot ordered construction of Maison dite Ker Arlette〔http://patrimoine.region-bretagne.fr/sdx/sribzh/main.xsp?execute=show_document&id=MERIMEEIA35000351〕 in Dinard, a coastal village in North-east Brittany. He lived there until his death caused by a disease from which he had suffered for a long time 〔(Anonymous (1913). Le Peintre Aimé Morot. In section Documents et Informations, L'Illustration 3677. )〕 on 12 August 1913.〔 An obituary was published in the 16 August 1913 edition of L'Illustration.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aimé Morot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
