3. Biography one of his paintings Marguerite Gerard was born in 1761 and passed away in 1837. Gerard lived in France, she was known for being a romanticism French painter. After viewing several of Gerard’s paintings,we noticed that her paintings have dark backgrounds and decorates the characters clothing with brightness and delightful colors. Her full name is really Marguerite Duras Gérard Jarlot. self portrait

4. Her paintings This painting was made in the 1780’s by Marguerite Gérard. She called it the “Piano Lesson,” as you can see there is a piano lesson going on with a child playing it in the scene. This painting is also by Gérard and it represents the darkness in the background and the lightness in the characters (as I said in his biography). It was made in 1804 and he called it “Motherhood.”

5. more paintings This painting as made in 1804 and Marguerite decided to call it the “Bad News,” once again you can see that there is a woman being treated with medication or something like that. This painting also represents the color theme that I have been mentioning. He called it “Summer.” As you may have noticed, Marguerite Gérard’s paintings look a lot alike. He uses soft and warming colors.

It was printed by Giclee ink on archival paper. It is a very nice and smooth painting.

9. more paintings This painting is by Francesco Hayez and is called “Vase of Flowers.” It is a fine painting by if you look to closely you will see a scary head and a pair of hands grabbing the vase.
