Henri Regnault Biography

(b Paris, 30 Oct 1843; d Buzenval, 19 Jan 1871). Painter, son of (1) Victor Regnault. He showed exceptional abilities as a draughtsman from an early age. After a traditional classical education he was sent in 1860 to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, where he studied with Louis Lamothe (1822–69) and Alexandre Cabanel. In 1866 he won the Prix de Rome competition with Thetis Giving the Weapons of Vulcan to Achilles (Paris, Ecole N. Sup. B.-A.). In Italy he began several other ambitious history paintings, including Automedon Taming the Horses of Achilles (1868; Boston, MA, Mus. F.A.; sketch, 1868, Paris, Mus. d’Orsay) and Judith and Holofernes (1869; Marseille, Mus. B.-A.).
