Born in Paris in 1821, Fran\u00e7ois L\u00e9on Benouville apprenticed in the studio of Fran\u00e7ois \u00c9douard Picot at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1837. Younger brother of the landscape artist Achille Benouville, he started at the Salon of 1838. After obtaining the great Prix \u200b\u200bde Rome for painting in 1845, L\u00e9on left for his stay at the Villa Medici in the company of his brother, winner of the grand prize for historical landscape the same year. In Italy, L\u00e9on devoted himself to history painting, developing a predilection for religious subjects. On his return to France, he obtained public recognition with Saint-Fran\u00e7ois d’Assise, transported dying to Sainte-Marie-des-Anges, blessed the city of Assisi<\/em>, exhibited at the Salon of 1853 and purchased for the Luxembourg museum ( now in the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay, Paris). He died prematurely at the age of 38 of typhoid fever.<\/p>\n

Fig. 2 Study of a leaning nude woman<\/em>, Museum of Fine Arts, Rouen, inv. 897.6.91 A (bis).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This study of a leaning woman held by a man’s hand is preparatory for a group of Christians (fig. 1) located in the background behind the two martyrs in the center of the arena in the painting The Christian Martyrs Entering the Amphitheater<\/a><\/em> by the artist in 1855[1]<\/a>. L\u00e9on Fran\u00e7ois B\u00e9nouville received the official order in 1854 for this imposing canvas following the presentation of a sketch[2]<\/a> of the same subject at the Salon of 1852 for which he won a second medal and which was acquired by the Director of Museums for the Luxemburg. Extolling the virtues of courage and hope, this martyrdom of the first Christians – Saint Blandine accompanied by a male saint – allows the artist to deploy his knowledge of ancient history and is part of a renewal of the history painting desired by the Academy of Fine Arts.<\/p>\n
