Alfred Dehodencq Biography

(b Paris, 23 April 1822; d Paris, 2 Jan 1882). French painter. He studied at the Collège Bourbon, where he met the poet Théodore de Banville. In 1839 he entered the atelier of Léon Cogniet, and he made his Salon début in 1844 with two figure paintings and a biblical subject, St Cecilia in Adoration (untraced). Wounded in the arm during the Revolution in 1848, he left Paris in June 1849 to convalesce at Barèges in the Pyrenees and from there travelled via Pau to Madrid. Apart from a brief visit to Paris in 1855, Dehodencq spent the next 15 years in Spain. In 1850 he entered the atelier of the Madrazo family and with their encouragement exhibited his Fight of the Novillos (1850; Pau, Mus. B.-A.) in Madrid, where it attracted the favourable attention of Manet. His robust style was popular with the Spanish authorities and with the international community in Madrid from whom he received several portrait commissions between 1850 and 1855; for example Prince Piscinelli (Bordeaux, Mus. B.-A.).
