Albert Aublet (1851 - 1938)
[A. Aublet]
Pupil of: Jacquand and Gerome; protege of Claude Monet

One of the most successful graduates of the studios of Claude Jacquand and Jean Leon Gerome, Albert Aublet, was a Parisian by birth. He received his first Salon medal in 1880, and won steadily increasing popularity, chiefly by pictures of a graceful decorative character, remarkable for beauty of form and tender purity of color, of which his painting Sleep is an admirable example.
