Antoine Calbet, a student of Alexandre Cabanel, was highly regarded
as painter and illustrator of nudes and genre scenes. His subject
matter and treatment of the human figure reflect an eighteenth century,
Rococo influence, often including naturalistic, pastoral scenes depicted
in a manner exuding lightness, elegance, and decorative charm.
Painting by Calbet
Beginning in 1880, Calbet exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes
Français, eventually becoming a member, and earning medals in 1891,
1892, 1893, and 1900. Calbet provided numerous illustrations, notably:
Aphrodite by P. Louys, Madame Neigeon by E. Zola, and Le Jardub de
Berenice by M. Barres. (askart.com)
