Georges Vanière
Born in 1740.
Died in 1834.
Georges Vanière is recognised as a draughtsman. He exerted a notable influence on art education in Geneva, where he was director of the public drawing classes between 1772 and 1815. His major contribution lay in introducing the study of the nude model, a practice that enriched the training of artists of his time.
Vanière thus contributed to the development of art education in the region, although the details of his oeuvre remain only partially documented.
