Nicolas Gosse or François Nicolas-Louis Gosse is a French painter born in Paris on October 2, 1787, died in Soncourt-sur-Marne on February 9, 1878. He is the son of Noël-François Gosse and Marie Leclerc. He married Cécile-Eugénie-Prudence Lucquin. He was a student of François-André Vincent, who taught him the art of precise drawing, brilliant touches and contrasting tones. His portraits are of great distinction in the firmness of the graphics. The “troubadour” genre subjects that he sent to the Salon from 1808 to 1870 show an ingenious conception of theatrical composition as confirmed by the scenes from the Napoleonic epic, and those from the reign of Charles X and Louis-Philippe (gallery history of Versailles). He obtained a third class medal in 1819, then a second class in 1824. In 1828 he was made a knight of the national order of the Legion of Honor, then promoted to officer in 1870. Gosse is the uncle of the painter Émile Bin(1825-1897), who was his student. He is buried in the Montmartre cemetery with his wife Cécile Lucquin who died in Paris on October 30, 1858.
