See also:SCHEFFER, ARY (1795-1858) , See also:French painter of Dutch extraction, was See also:born at See also:Dort on the loth of See also:February 1745. After the See also:early See also:death of his See also:father, a poor painter, Ary was taken to See also:Paris and placed in the studio of See also:Guerin by his See also:mother, a woman of See also:great See also:energy and See also:character. The moment at which Scheffer See also:left Guerin coincided with the commencement of the Romantic See also:movement. He had little sympathy with the directions given to it by either of its most conspicuous representatives, See also:Sigalon, See also:Delacroix or See also:Gericault, and made various tentative efforts—" Gaston de See also:Foix " (1824), " Suliot See also:Women " (1827)—before he found his own path. Immediately after the See also:exhibition of the last-named See also:work he turned to See also:Byron and See also:Goethe, selecting from See also:Faust a See also:long See also:series of subjects which had an extraordinary See also:vogue. Of these, we may mention " See also:Margaret at her See also:Wheel "; " Faust Doubting "; " Margaret at the Sabbat "; " Margaret Leaving See also:- CHURCH

Church "; the " See also:Garden Walk "; and lastly, perhaps the most popular of all, " Margaret at the Well." The two"See also:Mignons " appeared in 1836; and " Francesca da See also:Rimini," which is on the whole Scheffer's best work, belongs to the same See also:period. He now turned to religious subjects: " Christus Consolator " (1836) was followed by " Christus Remunerator," " The Shepherds Led by the See also:Star " (1837), " The Magi Laying Down their Crowns," " See also:Christ in the Garden of See also:Olives," " Christ bearing his See also:Cross," " Christ Interred " (1845), " St See also:Augustine and'Monica " (1846), after which he ceased to exhibit, but, shut up in his studio, continued to produce much which was first seen by the See also:outer See also:world after his death, which took See also:place at See also:Argenteuil on the 15th of See also:June 1858. At the See also:posthumous exhibition of his See also:works there figured the " Sorrows of the See also:Earth," and the " See also:Angel Announcing the Resurrection," which he had left unfinished. Amongst his numerous portraits those of La Fayette, See also:Beranger, Lamartine and See also:Marie Amelie were the most noteworthy. His reputation, much shaken by this posthumous exhibition, was further undermined by the See also:sale of the Paturle See also:Gallery, which contained many of his most celebrated achievements; the See also:charm and facility of their See also:composition could not See also:save them from the condemnation provoked by their poor and earthy See also:colour and vapid sentiment. Scheffer, who married the widow of See also:General Baudrand, was only made See also:commander of the See also:Legion of See also:Honour in 1848—that is, after he had wholly withdrawn from the See also:Salon. His See also:brother See also:Henri, born at the See also:Hague on the 27th of See also:September 1798, was also a fertile painter.
