Style and technique of artist Aimé Morot   

Aimé Morot is a painter and sculptor, mainly creating portraits. He has worked with drawing to prepare his compositions, oil on canvas, which is most often found at auction, and sculpture. His work is very classical, remaining within the canons of the teachings he followed.

Aimé Morot, 19th-century portrait painter

Aimé Nicolas Moreau (1850 - 1913) was born in Nancy. He began his training at the Ecole de Nancy under Charles Sellier, then became a pupil of Alexandre Cabanel at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He tried unsuccessfully several times for the Prix de Rome, winning it in 1973 with La captivité des juifs à Babylone.

He married Suzanne Gérôme shortly afterwards and became the son-in-law of Jean-Léon Gérôme. He exhibited for several years at the Salon des artistes français, and Marie Bashkirtseff, a painter of the same period, noticed him and noted in her diary her admiration for the paintings on display. A talented sculptor, he also created sets for several buildings in Nancy. He became a professor at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he taught portraiture. In his day, he was one of the twenty most influential artists at the Institut de France.

He built himself a house in Dinard, where he lived and died. He collaborated with the Valsuani foundry to create his death mask.

Aimé Morot's imprint on his period 

Aimé Morot marked his time with his mastery of portraiture and his teaching at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, but he is a forgotten artist today. His works are nevertheless appreciated on the auction market. Compared with other artists, few of his works have been presented on the market, but his quotation is stable.  

Recognizing the artist's signature
