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.

In the hands of Albert Aublet The New Moon becomes a graceful female figure, which forms a crescent in a sky fleeced with clouds, that wreathe in vapors above the pale peaks of the legendary Mountains of the Moon.

Albert Aublet made the regular course of a student at the School of Fine Arts. A visit to Constantinople next added subjects of Oriental life to his repertory, and led to the completion, among others, of his Turkish Woman at the Bath, whose appearance at the Salon in 1883 was received with great applause and materially added to his fame and prosperity.
