Life

Coutan was born in Paris in 1792. He studied under Gros, and obtaining the Academy pension was thus enabled later on to improve himself at Rome. Returning to his native country he produced works, representing chiefly classical and mythological subjects, which realized considerable prices. He took a part also in the labour of decorating with religious subjects the church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. He died in Paris in 1837.[1]

gollark: Not ALL webdevs are evil. I optimize my things for low resource use and make them run in-browser properly instead of Electron.
gollark: **The most gollarious response:**- pretending things- pretending there's some horrible name for it- implying it's badness- If they're profitable, you'll get some shit from people on the internet- blahblatantly passing it away- no sense.
gollark: I'm not sure what happens with that.
gollark: It really likes holoapioforms.
