léon joseph florentin bonnat (1833 – 1922)
Léon Bonnat (1833-1922): French Realist painter famed for portraits & religious scenes influenced by Spanish masters. Professor at École des Beaux-Arts, mentor to Sargent & Toulouse-Lautrec.
Panthéon (Paris, France)
Jacques-Germain Soufflot’s design is a masterful embodiment of neoclassical principles, drawing direct inspiration from the Pantheon in Rome—hence its name. However, Soufflot didn't simply replicate his ancient predecessor; he infused it with distinctly French sensibilities.
