can trace their training through a direct lineage

The lineage branches out like a family tree.
Since many of the artists had more than one
teacher there are several overlaps and ways this
can be shown.

(1688 – 4 JUNE 1737)
French rococo painter.
He was born in Paris. In 1701,
when he was 13 years old, he
entered the Académie de peinture
et de sculpture. He studied
under Louis Galloche and stayed
until 1713. In 1711, Lemoyne won
the Prix de Rome. He was accepted
as a member of the Académie in

Jean-Baptiste Corneille's Paris studio.
French painter, best known as
the master

Watteau as an apprentice
between 1703 and 1708.

18. LOUIS ETIENNE WA T E L E T
T E A C H E R O F PAU L D E L A R O C H E
STUDENT OF PIERRE HENRI DE VALENCIENNES
 Louis Etienne Watelet (1780-
1866) Louis Watelet was born in
Paris in 1780 Watelet was a regular
contributor to the Paris Salon,
between 1800 and 1857, and he
won medals in 1810 and 1819.
Despite being a Salon favourite
Watelet’s art was imbued with a
sense of adventure as his works
broke free of the rigid structure of
the academies. As Pierre Miquel
notes in his book (The French
Landscape 1824-1874, The School
of Nature), Watelet began a process
of emancipation away from the
academies. Watelet’s work is in the
permanent collections of at least
sixteen European museums, a sign
of the high esteem in which his
work is held.

19. PIERRE-HENRI DE VALENCIENNES
( D E C E M B E R 6 , 1 7 5 0 – F E B R UA RY 1 6 , 1 8 1 9 ) WA S
A F R E N C H PA I N T E R .
 Valenciennes worked in Rome from 1778 to 1782, where
he made a number of landscape studies directly from nature,
sometimes painting the same set of trees or house at different
times of day.[1] He theorized on this idea in Advice to a Student
on Painting, Particularly on Landscape (1800), developing a concept
of a "landscape portrait" in which the artist paints a landscape
directly while looking upon it, taking care to capture its
particular details.[1] Although he spoke of this as a type of
painting mainly of interest to "amateurs",[2] as distinguished
from the higher art of the academies, he found it of great
interest, and of his own works the surviving landscape
portraits have been the most noted by later
commentators.[1] He in particular urged artists to capture the
distinctive details of a scene's architecture, dress, agriculture,
and so on, in order to give the landscape a sense of belonging
to a specific place; in this he probably influenced other French
artists active in Italy who took an anthropological approach to
painting rural areas and customs, such as Hubert
Robert and Achille-Etna Michallon.[2]

20. MICHEL CORNEILLE THE ELDER
Corneille was born in Orleans. He was one of many who studied with the celebrated master Simon Vouet

21. SIMON VOUET
(1590-1649)
Teacher of Michel Corneille the Elder
Vouet was born in Paris, and was a pupil
of his father, Laurent Vouet. Precocious in
talent, he is said to have painted portraits
in England at the age of 14. He
accompanied the French ambassador to
Constantinople 1611 and stayed in Italy
1612–27, becoming president of the
Academy of St Luke 1624. Eclectic in
style, he was influenced by Caravaggio,
Guido Reni, and Paolo Veronese, but
shaped and refined these elements
successfully into a form of classicism that
had a profound influence on 17th-century
French art.

22. GABRIEL FRANÇOIS
DOYEN
(1726 – 5 JUNE 1806)
His passion for art prevailed over his father's wish, and he became in his
twelfth year a pupil of Charles-André van Loo. Making rapid progress, he
obtained at twenty the Grand Prix and in 1748 set out for Rome. He studied
the works of Annibale Carracci, Pietro Berrettini da Cortona, Giulio
Romano and Michelangelo, then visitedNaples, Venice, Bologna and other
Italian cities, and in 1755 returned to Paris. At first unappreciated and
disparaged, he resolved by one grand effort to achieve a reputation, and in
1758 he exhibited his Death of Virginia. It was completely successful, and
procured him admission to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture.
Among his greatest works are reckoned the Miracle des Ardents, painted for
the church of St Genevieve at St Roch (1773); the Triumph of Thetis, for the
chapel of the Invalides; and the Death of St Louis, for the chapel of the
Military School. In 1776 he was appointed professor at the Academy. Soon
after the beginning of the French Revolution he accepted the invitation
of Catherine II of Russia. and settled at St Petersburg, where he was loaded
with honors and rewards. He died there on 5 June 1806.

23. C A R L E VA N L O O ( 1 7 0 5 - 1 7 6 5 )
STUDENT OF BENEDETTO LUTI
Carle Vanloo was born into a family of painters, but eventually
overshadowed all of his relatives with his versatile artistic talents. He
trained with an Italian painter and a French sculptor and also made
numerous travels throughout Italy and France. After his father’s death in
1712, Vanloo’s education was placed in the hands of his older brother.
They moved to Rome two years later where he began formal studies.
They then moved on to Paris and worked together on commissions. IN his
teenage years, Vanloo won first prize in drawing at the Academie Royale
and also was awarded the Prix de Rome. He lived in Italy until 1733,
painting religious and mythological frescoes. He then returned to Paris
and painted portraits of the royal family and decorated their apartments at
Fontainbleau and Versailles. During his lifetime, Vanloo was given the title
of Premier Painter to the King under Louis XV and also became a noble.

24. FRANÇOIS BOUCHER
S E P T E M B E R 1 7 0 3 – 3 0 M AY 1 7 7 0 )
Born in Paris, the son of a lace designer Nicolas Boucher, François
Boucher (pronounced frahn-swah bōō-shay) was perhaps the most
celebrated decorative artist of the 18th century, with most of his work
reflecting the Rococo style. At the young age of 17, Boucher was
apprenticed by his father to François Lemoyne. In 1731, he was
admitted to the Académie de peinture et de sculpture as a historical
painter, and became a faculty member in 1734. Teacher of:
Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), François-Hubert
Drouais (1727-1775),Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806) in
circa 1749.

25. CHARLES -JOSEPH NATOIRE
(3 MARCH 1700 – 23 AUGUST 1777)
French painter in the Rococo manner, a pupil
of François Lemoyne and director of the French
Academy in Rome, 1751-1775. Considered during
his lifetime the equal of François Boucher, he
played a prominent role in the artistic life of France.
He is remembered above all for the series of
the History of Psyche for Germain Boffrand's
oval salon de la Princesse in the Hôtel de Soubise,
Paris, and for the tapestry cartoons for the series
of the History of Don Quixote, woven at
the Beauvais tapestry manufacture, most of which
are at the Château de Compiègne.

26. BENEDETTO LUTI (1666 – 1724)
STUDENT OF ANTON DOMENICO GABBIANI
Luti was born in Florence. He moved
to Rome in 1691 where he was patronized
by Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of
Tuscany, an enthusiast for the pastelportrait.
Luti was one of the first artists to work in
pastels as the final composition as opposed to
initial studies for paintings or frescoes. He also
worked inoils and painted frescoes for
the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano.
Luti was also a successful art dealer and ran a
school of drawing; among his pupils
were Giovanni Domenico Piastrini, Giovanni
Paolo Panini, Jean-Baptiste van Loo,
and Charles-André van Loo.

27. ANTON DOMENICO GABBIANI
STUDENT OF DA N D I N I
(13 February 1652 - 22 November 1726) was an Italian painter,
born in Florence, and active in a late Baroque style
He first apprenticed with the Medici court portrait
painter Justus Sutterman, then with the Florentine Vincenzo
Dandini; subsequently moved to Rome in 1673 he arrived in
Rome, where he studied under the Medici-
sponsored Accademia Fiorentina, led by Ciro Ferri and Ercole
Ferrata. This latter tutelage and his style has led Gabbiani to
be described as one of the ‘’Cortoneschi’’ or followers
of Cortona, albeit second-generation. In 1678-9, he traveled
to Venice, where he worked in the studio of Sebastiano
Bombelli, returning to his native Florence in 1680, where he
was often patronized by Grand Prince Ferdinando, the son of
the Grand Duke Cosimo III. He painted the portrait of his
patron surrounded by musicians (c. 1685; Pitti Palace). He
also frescoed the Apotheosis of Cosimo il Vecchio in the
ceiling of the Sala da Pranzo in the Villa di Poggio a Caiano.
Also worked in the church of San Frediano. By 1684, he
completed an Annunciation [1] for the Pitti Palace. He
completed a ‘’St Francis de Sales in Glory’’ (1685) for the
church of Santi Apostoli. His pupils included Giovanna
Fratellini, Ignazio Enrico Hugford (also a
biographer),Benedetto Luti, Ranieri del Pace, Giovanni
Battista and Tommaso Redi.

28. 1500S AND 1600S
A L L O R I & DA N D I N I
Alessandro Allori (1535-1607), teacher of:
Cristofano Allori (1577-1621), teacher of:
Cesar Dandini (1596-1657), teacher of:
Vincenzo Dandini (1609-1675), teacher of:
Anton Domenico Gabbiani
Alessandro di Cristofano di Lorenzo del Bronzino Allori
(3 May 1535 - 22 September 1607) was an Italian portrait painter of the
late Mannerist Florentineschool.
Born in Florence, in 1540, after the death of his father, he was brought up
and trained in art by a close friend, often referred to as his 'uncle', the
mannerist painter Agnolo Bronzino, whose name he sometimes assumed
in his pictures. In some ways, Allori is the last of the line of prominent
Florentine painters, of generally undiluted Tuscan artistic heritage: Andrea Cristofano Allori
del Sarto worked with Fra Bartolomeo (as well as Leonardo da
Vinci), Pontormo briefly worked under Andrea, and trainedBronzino, who
trained Allori. Subsequent generations in the city would be strongly
influenced by the tide of Baroque styles pre-eminent in other parts of Italy.
Allori was one of the artists, working under Vasari, included in the
decoration of the Studiolo of Francesco I.
He is the father of Cristofano Allori (1577-1621).

29. JEAN-BAPTISTE CORNEILLE
He learned to paint and etch in academic painter Jean-Baptiste Corneille's Paris studio.
Corneille was born in Paris between 1646 and 1649. He was the youngest
son of Michel Corneille the Elder of Orléans, and brother of the younger
Michel. He is known as "the younger Corneille". His devoted father was
his teacher and painstakingly prepared the youth for his future successes
as anhistorical painter. In 1664 he won the second prize and in 1668 the
first prize of the academy. He then went to study in Rome and, on his
return in 1675 was received into the Royal Academy, painting for his
reception-picture the "Punishment of Busiris by Hercules", now one of the
notable canvases in theLouvre. He painted in some of the Paris churches
and in 1679 finished his "Deliverance of St. Peter from Prison" for
the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. With Jacques Vouet he was employed on
the decorations of the Tuileries. In 1692 he was appointed professor in the
academy. He died in Paris on 12 April 1695.

30. AG N O L O B RO N Z I N O
TEACHER OF ALESSANDRO
ALLORI
Bronzino was born in Florence around 1503. According to
his contemporary Vasari, Bronzino was a pupil first
of Raffaellino del Garbo, and then of Pontormo. The latter
was ultimately the primary influence on Bronzino's
developing style and the young artist remained devoted to
his eccentric teacher. Indeed, Pontormo is thought to have
introduced a portrait of Bronzino as a child into one of his
series on Joseph in Egypt now in the National
Gallery, London.[1]Bronzino's early indebtedness to
Pontormo's instruction can be seen in the arresting little
Capponi Chapel in Santa Felicita, Florence. Towards the
end of his life, Bronzino took a prominent part in the
activities of the Florentine Accademia delle Arti del Disegno,
of which he was a founding member in 1563. The
painter Alessandro Allori was his favourite pupil, and
Bronzino was living in the Allori family house at the time of
his death in Florence in 1572 (Alessandro was also the
father of Cristofano Allori).[3] Bronzino spent the majority of
his career in Florence.

31. P O N TO R M O ( M AY 2 4 , 1 4 9 4 — J A N UA RY 2 , 1 5 5 7 )
Student of DaVinci
Jacopo Carucci was born at Pontorme,
near Empoli. Vasari relates how the orphaned
boy, "young, melancholy and lonely," was
shuttled around as a young apprentice:
Jacopo had not been many months in Florence
before Bernardo Vettori sent him to stay
with Leonardo da Vinci, and then withMariotto
Albertinelli, Piero di Cosimo, and finally, in 1512,
with Andrea del Sarto, with whom he did not
remain long, for after he had done the cartoons
for the arch of the Servites, it does not seem that
Andrea bore him any good will, whatever the
cause may have been.
Pontormo painted in and around Florence, often
supported by Medici patronage. A foray to Rome,
largely to see Michelangelo's work, influenced his
later style. Haunted faces and elongated bodies
are characteristic of his work.

32. GIORGIO VASARI
Vasari was born in Arezzo, Tuscany.
Recommended at an early age by his
cousin Luca Signorelli, he became a
pupil of Guglielmo da Marsiglia, a
skilful painter of stained glass. Sent
to Florence at the age of sixteen by
Cardinal Silvio Passerini, he joined the
circle of Andrea del Sarto and his
pupils Rosso Fiorentino, Jacopo
Pontormo where his humanist
education was encouraged. He was
befriended by Michelangelo whose
painting style would influence his own.

33. L E O N A R D O DA V I N C I
( A P R I L 1 5 , 1 4 5 2 – M AY 2 , 1 5 1 9 )
Leonardo commenced
his apprenticeship with Verrocchio in
1466, the year that Verrocchio's master,
the great sculptor Donatello, died. The
painter Uccello whose early experiments
with perspective were to influence the
development of landscape painting, was
a very old man. The painters Piero della
Francesca and Fra Filippo Lippi,
sculptor Luca della Robbia, and architect
and writer Alberti were in their sixties.
The successful artists of the next
generation were Leonardo's teacher
Verrocchio, Antonio Pollaiuolo and the
portrait sculptor, Mino da Fiesole whose
life like busts give the most reliable
likenesses of Lorenzo Medici's father
Piero and uncle Giovanni

34. VERROCCHIO
Verrocchio was born in Florence in 1435 to Michele di
Francesco Cioni, who worked as a tile and brick maker
and, later, as a tax collector. Michele never married, and
had to provide financial support for some members of his
family. Michele's fame rose upon his joining the Medici
court, in which he remained until his workshop moved
to Venice.
Many believe that Andrea started to work as a goldsmith in
the workshop of Giulio Verrocchi, but this is impossible as
Giuliano was born in 1447. It is more likely that he was
trained by Giuliano's father Francesco di Luca Verrocchio,
who was a rich and successful goldsmith and knew Andrea
as a youth. The possibility that he apprenticed
with Donatello remains unconfirmed. His first efforts
in painting date probably from the 1460s, when he worked
in Pratoalongside Filippo Lippi.

35. Louis de Boullogne II (1657-1733)
and
(AKA Bon Boulloge, 1606 or 1609-1674).
Louis Boullogne the Elder was one of 14
founders of the French Academy in 1648.

36. GUIDO RENI
Born in Bologna into a family of musicians,
Guido Reni was the son of Daniele Reni and
Ginevra de’ Pozzi. As a child of nine, he was
apprenticed under the Bolognese studio of
Denis Calvaert. Soon after, he was joined in
that studio by Albani and Domenichino. He may
also have trained with a painter by the name of
Ferrantini. When Reni was about twenty years
old, the three Calvaert pupils migrated to the
rising rival studio, named Accademia degli
Incamminati (Academy of the "newly
embarked", or progressives), led by Lodovico
Carracci. They went on to form the nucleus of a
prolific and successful school of Bolognese
painters who followed Annibale Carracci to
Rome. Like many other Bolognese painters,
Reni's painting was thematic and eclectic in
style.

37. DENYS CALVAERT
Denis Calvaert or Denys Calvaert (1540-1619)
was a Flemishpainter born at Antwerp but living
mostly in Italy where he was known as Il
Fiammingo (the Fleming). Calvaert was a
profound student of architecture, anatomy,
and history, exceedingly accurate in perspective
and graceful in design. After studying landscape-
painting for some time in his native city (the
Antwerp "Record of Artists" or "Liggeren" (1556-
57), gives his name as Caluwaert), he first
studied under Christiaen van Queecborn.
He then went to Bologna, where worked
under Prospero Fontana.

38. PROSPERO FONTANA
Fontana was born in Bologna, and became a
pupil of Innocenzo da Imola. He afterwards
worked for Perin del Vaga in the Palazzo Doria
in Genoa. Towards 1550, it is reported
thatMichelangelo introduced him to Pope Julius
IIIas a portrait-painter; and he was pensioned at
the pontifical court. He later joined Vasari's
studio in Florence, and worked in frescoes at
the Palazzo Vecchio (1563-65).

39. ANDREA DEL SARTO
Andrea was born in Gualfonda, close
to Florence, in either 1486 or 1487: he was
one of four children to Agnolo, a tailor (sarto).
By 1494 Andrea was apprenticed to
a goldsmith, and then to a
skillful woodcarver and inferior painter
named Gian Barile, with whom he remained
until 1498. According to Vasari, he then
apprenticed to Piero di Cosimo, and later
with Raffaellino del Garbo (Carli).

40. LOUIS GALLOCHE
Louis Galloche (24 August 1670,
Paris - 21 July 1761) was a
French painter. A student of Louis
de Boullogne, his own students
included François
Lemoyne, Charles-Joseph
Natoire and François Boucher.
