Artist Biography
Jacques-Laurent
Agasse
(1767-1849), French
Agasse
was Born in Geneva in 1767. Agasse was the son of one of the
oligarchic families who governed the republic. He experienced a privileged
upbringing spending his childhood summers on their estate in Crevin. While at
the estate he developed his love for horses and farm animals and spent his days
sketching and drawing. He decided to enroll in the Ecole du Calabri and later
studied under David in Paris.
After briefly returning to Geneva, he moved to England in 1802 where he lived
until his death in 1849. He is often referred to as the Swiss Stubbs because of
his ability to re-create the anatomy of animals. His pictures are sensitive to
the subjects and are very naturalistic. His work is regarded among the finest of
this period.
