About the Artist
A French painter of mythological subjects, Henri Courselles-Dumont studied in Paris under Elie Delaunay, Raphael Collin and Luc-Olivier Merson at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He painted one of the frescoes at the Pantheon. In some of his compositions, as here, he featured a nude figure with a landscape painted in Impressionist tones.
He exhibited at the Salon de la Societe des Artistes Francais. His work is included in the collections of a number of French museums.
