Eug\u00e8ne Fran\u00e7ois Marie Joseph Dev\u00e9ria (French, 1805-1865)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dev\u00e9ria was born to an aristocratic family in Paris. He submitted his first works to the Paris Salon in 1824 and experienced success with his portrait La Naissance de Henri IV. Dev\u00e9ria\u2019s unfinished sketch Self Portrait with His Family is characterized by a sense of movement and narrative. In the background, a young boy reaches upwards to remove a bust from an upper shelf, while the artist paints and a girl in the foreground writes on the floor, showing the artist\u2019s lively domestic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Dev\u00e9ria saw early success, his later submissions to the Paris salon would not reach the same acclaim. To make money, he painted wealthy patrons\u2019 portraits. After converting to Protestantism, Dev\u00e9ria was shunned by his family and patrons in Paris and moved to the small village of Pau where he gave drawing lessons and painted visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
