Pierre Auguste Cot (17 February 1837 – 2 August 1883) was a French painter of the Academic Classicism school. ==Life and career== Cot was born in Bédarieux, Hérault, and initially studied at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse before going to Paris. He studied under Leon Cogniet, Alexandre Cabanel and William-Adolphe Bouguereau. In 1863 he made a successful debut at the Salon, and from the 1870s, his popularity grew quickly. Cot enjoyed the patronage of the academic sculptor Francisque Duret, whose daughter he married, and of Bouguereau, with whom he had also worked. Bouguereau painted a portrait of Cot's daughter, Gabrielle. Bouguereau had dined with the Cot family to celebrate Gabrielle's marriage to an architect named Zilin. The artist made a gift of the painting to the wife of Duret, Gabrielle's grandmother.〔Sotheby's catalogue (notes and provenance. ) The portrait has been known variously as ''Tête de jeune fille'' ("Head of a Young Girl"), ''Portrait of Gabrielle Drienza'', ''Portrait de Madame Z'', and ''Head of () Ailin, Gabrielle Cot''.〕 Cot won various prizes and medals, and in 1874 was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. He died in Paris. 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「Pierre Auguste Cot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
