Biography:
Louis-Francois Cassas received his education from an array of artists including Neoclassicist Joseph-Marie Vien and Rococo painters like Jean-Baptiste Le Prince. Cassas went to Italy in 1778, sketching everything he saw while traveling through Rome, Venice, Naples, and Sicily. He was commissioned to create a series of drawings of the Istrian and Dalmatian coast in 1782. Two years later, Cassas traveled to Constantinople with the Comte de Choiseul-Gouffier and then expanded to visit Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Cyprus, and Asia Minor. He drew many middle-eastern images and later published them with Choiseul’s help. Cassas returned to Paris in 1792 and was appointed as a drawing professor at the Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory. He exhibited at the Salon in 1804 and 1814. His hundreds of models for Paris’s Ecole des Beaux-Arts spurred the development of Neoclassicism in the beginning of the 19th century.
