Louise Marguerite Espérance Langlois (19 October 1805 – 4 December 1864) was a French painter and printmaker. From her marriage to the lawyer and businessman Jean-Adrien Bourlet de la Vallée she was also known as Espérance Bourlet de la Vallée. ==Life== Espérance Langlois was born on 19 October 1805 at Pont-de-l'Arche in Normandy. Her grandfather had been an adviser to the king of France. Her father was the artist and antiquarian Eustache-Hyacinthe Langlois. Throughout her childhood the family lived in great poverty, first in Pont-de-l'Arche and after 1816 in Rouen, while her father struggled to live by selling his work. These included drawings of old architecture and gothic-style illustrations of legends. Both Espérance and her brother Polyclès Langlois were taught by their father and often assisted him with drawings and engravings. Espérance Langlois married Jean-Adrien Bourlet de la Vallée. Their son Alexandre Bourlet de la Vallée was a classmate of Gustave Flaubert. In 1834 the Rouen Academy of Fine Arts awarded her a silver medal in the category "Genre works". Espérance was later employed for several years as a painter by the Sèvres porcelain factory. The porcelain work she made there was shown at many exhibitions of industrial art in France and England. She died on 4 December 1864 at Sèvres. 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「Espérance Langlois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
