BIOGRAPHY:
Georges Callot (1857 - 1903), born and died in Paris, is a French painter and art teacher Georges Callot first studied at the School of Decorative Arts with Eugène Adam before joining the School of Fine Arts.
Close in spirit to the works of Henri Fantin-Latour, Callot appropriates the female model in sometimes mythological scenes such as “The Education of Orpheus” (Châlons-en-Champagne, Museum of Fine Arts) or allegorical but most often in genre scenes or portraits like “L’Attente” (Cholet, Museum of Art and History). He exhibited at the Salon for the first time in 1877 but his reputation grew particularly at the end of the century.
He thus received a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 and, with the support of the painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, he was honored the same year with the Legion of Honor.
