Pascal Adolphe Dagnan-Bouveret painted ordinary people with the seriousness usually reserved for saints and kings, and that steady attention is what carries his work over into counted cross stitch.
He was French, born in 1852 and died in 1929, and he became one of the leading figures of the naturalist school. Portraits and genre painting were his ground. Works such as Bouderie, which shows his friend Gustave Courtois in his studio, sit alongside religious subjects like Christ and the Pilgrims at Emmaus and the Madone a la Treille, so the range runs from a private moment between two men to something closer to devotional painting.
Dagnan-Bouveret studied under Alexandre Cabanel and Jean-Leon Gerome. William Bliss Baker and Jacques-Eugene Feyen also worked in Naturalism.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Pascal Adolphe Dagnan-Bouveret art prints are easy to find.
