Pascal Adolpe Jean Dagnan-Bouveret

[Jesse C. Draper]

I had the opportunity the summer to visit the Met. The painting that touched me the most was "The Pardon in Brittany" by Dagnan-Bouveret. I have since discovered his other works. I have searched for information on this artist but have not found what I am looking for. The Art Renewal Center had some great photographs of him with some models that I found most helpful. Does anyone know how he worked. Any information on him would be much appreciated.
