George Théodore Berthon (3 May 1806 – 18 January 1892) was a painter from France. Berthon's father, René Théodore Berthon, was a court painter to Napoleon and likely trained his son in art. As well, his exposure to art in Paris would have been significant. As an adult he lived in England for a number of years and was exposed to their portrait tradition. The first verifiable record of his immigration to Canada is an advertisement for his portraiture services in a Toronto newspaper in 1845. Berthon was notable in the history of Canada for his work with formal portraits in the Victorian tradition. His work is important both as a historical record and as a first rate example of the style of Canadian portraiture during that period. He was a founding member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. ==Paintings== File:ColonelSimcoe.jpg|George Théodore Berthon's Colonel John Graves Simcoe File:John Colborne.jpg|George Théodore Berthon's Sir John Colborne, GCB, GCMG (Baron Seaton) Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, 1828–36 File:George Murray Portrait.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's George Murray (British Army officer), Governor of Upper Canada, 1815 File:Sir John Beverley Robinson.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Sir John Beverley Robinson File:Peregrine Maitland Portrait.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Peregrine Maitland File:GenIsaacBrock.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Gen Isaac Brock c. 1883 File:Frederick Philipse Robinson Portrait.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Lieutenant Governor Frederick Philipse Robinson, Upper Canada, 1815 File:Francis Gore Portrait.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Francis Gore File:Henry William Stisted Portrait.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Lieutenant Governor Henry William Stisted of Ontario, 1867–68 File:Peter Russell Portrait.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Peter Russell (politician) President and Admin of Upper Canada, 1796–99, ca 1882 File:Gordon Drummond.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Lieutenant Governor Gordon Drummond of Ontario File:Edmund Walker Head.jpg|George Theodore Berthon's Edmund Walker Head 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「George Théodore Berthon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
