BIOGRAPHY:
Adolphe Alexandre Lesrel was a French painter. He was born in Genets and had his artistic training under Jean-Leon Gerome, whose style he followed. His paintings are in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Nantes and the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen. During the 19th century people developed a vivid fascination for the past. This was particularly true in France where memories of the recently deposed monarchy were still strong and the political situation was volatile. Paintings emphasized the human qualities of the subjects, and in Lesrel's works he alludes to the paternal qualities of the monarchy by painting the King's men at ease in their domestic situations. He specialized in historical genre paintings. At a 2012 Sotheby's auction, one of his paintings, The Practice Recital, was sold for US$86,500.
