Felix Thomas
Felix Thomas was an Italian painter born in Nantes in 1815. After graduating from high school Clemenceau, he turns to the Beaux-Arts. He became a pupil of Louis-Hippolyte Lebas and won the first Prix de Rome in Architecture Cathedral on a project in 1845.
A great traveler, he traveled through Italy, Greece, and Turkey. In 1851 he was commissioned by the government to participate in the Fresnel mission in Asia Minor and Mesopotamia as an architect designer. Felix Thomas was hired by Victor Place (1818-1875), Consul in Mosul to continue the excavations initiated in 1843 by Paul-Emile Botta in the palace of the Assyrian king Sargon II in Dur-Sharrukin, Iraq. It establishes in this context statements, quantity surveys, sketches and drawings that will make him the "main collaborator, most of the major publications on Nineveh, Assyria and Mesopotamia."
His health, however, forced him to leave the expedition after two years. On his return to France, he devoted himself to painting and became a student of Charles Gleyre. It realizes a set of orientalist works inspired by his travels. Towards the end of his life, he divided his time between his studio in Nantes and the Pornic resort. The Baron de Girardot, in a book dedicated to him, said about him, "Modest to a fault, withdrawn and lonely, he painted for him." He died in Nantes in April 1875.
