SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Antoine-Félix Boisselier (1790–1857), born in Paris and deceased in Versailles, belonged to a generation of French painters committed to historical landscape. He trained with his elder brother Félix and subsequently with Jean-Victor Bertin. He exhibited at the Salon from 1819 and taught drawing at the military school of Saint-Cyr while continuing his career as a painter.
Italy informed his work: a view of the monastery of San Benedetto above the Aniene at Subiaco, dated 1811, is held by the Metropolitan Museum. His Italian drawings likewise reveal an interest in architecture and natural sites. He also addressed historical subjects, including Louis VII in the passes of Laodicea, shown at the Salon of 1824. Active in Versailles scholarly circles, he presided over the Académie de Versailles from 1842 to 1849.
