Léon Frédéric (August 26, 1856 – January 27, 1940) was a Belgian Symbolism painter. His earlier paintings joined Christian mysticism, pantheistic, and natural themes, while his later works increasingly reflected social themes. 〔http://balat.kikirpa.be/peintres/Detail_notice.php?id=2382〕 Frédéric's work reflects influences of fifteenth and sixteenth century Flemish, as well as Renaissance painting styles. Two of his works, ''The Four Seasons'' and ''The Source of Life'' are currently on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. ==Biography== Léon Frédéric (August 26, 1856 – January 27, 1940) was a Belgian Symbolism painter from Brussels. Frédéric attended Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels from 1871 to 1878, and was a pupil of the Neo-Classicist Jean-François Portaels. While attending the academy Frédéric made long trips to Italy from 1876 to 1878 to study with the Belgian sculptor Julien Dillens. While in Italy (Venice, Florence Naples and Rome) he studied the works of Botticelli and Ghirlandaio, reinforcing his linear technique. In 1879, on his return from Italy, he made his debut at the Brussels Salon and became a member of the artist group L'Essor (artist group). In 1883, he moved to Nafraiture, in the Belgian Ardennes, and traveled extensively to England, Germany and the Netherlands. He moved to his final home in Schaerbeek in 1899, and continue to travel and exhibit his work in international fairs. 〔http://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/leon-frederic/〕〔http://balat.kikirpa.be/peintres/Detail_notice.php?id=2382〕 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「Léon Frédéric」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
