Oil Paintings by Jacques Laurent Agasse, Switzerland 1767 to 1849
Jacques Agasse was born in Geneva and the son of one of the oligarchic families who governed the republic. He experienced a privileged upbringing spending his childhood summers on their estate in Crevin. While at the estate he developed his love for horses and farm animals and spent his days painting. He decided to enroll in the Ecole du Calabri and later studied under David in Paris. After briefly returning to Geneva, he moved to England in 1802 where he lived until his death in 1849. He is often referred to as the Swiss Stubbs because of his ability to re-create the anatomy paintings of animals. His oil paintings are sensitive to the subjects and are very naturalistic. His paintings are regarded among the finest of this period.
