Frédéric Bazille
Family Reunion
Frédéric Bazille (
1841 -
1870) was a brilliant young
Impressionist painter, best known for his depiction of figures. His most famous work is a
Family Reunion (
1867-
1868). Born to a wealthy family, he supported other artists, giving them space in his studio and materials to use. Bazille's promising career was cut short, when he was killed in the
Franco-Prussian War.
