Pierre Claude François Delorme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Claude François Delorme (1783–1859) was a French painter and printmaker. He studied art under Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson. He exhibited at The Salon in Paris from 1810 to 1851. He lithographed many compositions after Girodet-Trioson.[1]

His most important works include The Death of Abel, Hero and Leander, Rising of the Daughter of Jairus, Descent of Christ into Limbo, and Cephalus Carried Off by Aurora.[2] Christ in Limbo (1819) is among the collection of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix de Ménilmontant.[3]

He held art workshops in his studio for young girls. One of his students was Henriette Deluzy-Desportes, the granddaughter of politician and diplomat Félix Desportes.[4]
