Frederic Bazille Biography

(b montpellier, 6 dec 1841; d beaune-la-rolande, 28 nov 1870). french painter. the son of a senator, he was born into the wealthy protestant middle class in montpellier. he soon came into contact with the contemporary and still controversial painting of eugène delacroix and gustave courbet through the montpellier collector, alfred bruyas. in response to his family’s wishes he began to study medicine in 1860. he moved to paris in 1862 and devoted his time increasingly to painting. in november 1862 he entered the studio of charles gleyre where he produced academic life drawings (examples in montpellier, mus. fabre) and made friends with the future impressionists, claude monet, auguste renoir and alfred sisley. when the studio closed in 1863, he did not look for another teacher but followed his friends to chailly, near the forest of fontainebleau, where he made studies from nature (e.g. study of trees ; priv. col.). from 1863 he took an active part in parisian musical life, attending the pasdeloup and conservatoire concerts. he developed a passion for opera (berlioz and wagner in particular) and german music (beethoven and schumann). he attended the salon of his cousins, the lejosne family, where henri fantin-latour, charles baudelaire, edmond maître, renoir and edouard manet were frequent guests, and at the end of 1863 he met courbet.
