Rene-Joseph Gilbert (1858-1914)
Rene-Joseph Gilbert, who is one of the foremost of the pupils of the late Alexandre Cabanel, was born in Paris, and is a thorough Parisian in his art. He is a brilliant and powerful colorist, and his pictures reveal an amazing facility in the rendition of textures, which, even in the black and white reproduction of "A Midsummer Siesta," can be distinctly observed.
