He learns the trade of glass painter in 1885 with Tamoni. From the summer onwards, he also attended evening classes at the \u00c9cole des Arts D\u00e9coratifs. The following year, he worked for the stained-glass restorer Hirsch. He passed the entrance exam for the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in 1890, and joined the studio of painter Elie Delaunay in early December. When Delaunay died in early September 1891, his friend Gustave Moreau took over &#8211; the other studio heads at the time were L\u00e9on Bonnat and Jean-L\u00e9on G\u00e9r\u00f4me. A strong relationship developed between Gustave Moreau and the young Rouault, who in July 1894 was awarded the Prix Chenavard for <em>L&#8217;Enfant J\u00e9sus parmi les docteurs<\/em>, 1894 (Mus\u00e9e Unterlinden, Colmar).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/en\/georges-raouault-1871-1958-biographie\/\">Read the full biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; z_index=&#8221;500&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1400px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; header_2_text_align_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_text_align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_align_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Discover other artists<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_menu menu_id=&#8221;264&#8243; menu_style=&#8221;centered&#8221; active_link_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; dropdown_menu_bg_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; dropdown_menu_line_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; menu_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font|300||on|||||&#8221; menu_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; menu_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; menu_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; module_alignment_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(216,216,216,0.11)&#8221; global_module=&#8221;8808&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;23px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/en\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To find out more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/a-propos\/\">art gallery in Paris,<\/a> the works available, our appraisal service or our exhibitions:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijg4NjYifX0=@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;contact us&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georges Rouault (1871-1958)An artist independent of contemporary avant-garde movements, apart from his affiliation with Fauvism, Georges Rouault&#8217;s work is profoundly humanist, with man&#8217;s struggle with destiny at its core.
