SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Claude-Marie Dubufe (1790–1864) was a French painter who trained in Jacques-Louis David’s studio from 1804. He made his Salon debut in 1810 with a subject from ancient history, subsequently developing a career in which portraiture became predominant. He was the first representative of a family of painters that included his son Édouard and his grandson Guillaume.
His fanciful figures and portraits combined his classical training with the expectations of nineteenth-century society. Official commissions accompanied his success with private clients. His portrait of Louise d’Orléans, Queen of the Belgians, painted in 1836 for the Tuileries Palace, is preserved at Compiègne. His work also included religious and literary compositions, among them Paradise Lost, extending his practice beyond commissioned portraits.
