Frédéric Bazille Totally Explained

Everything about Fr D Ric Bazille totally explained

Jean Frédéric Bazille (December 6 1841–November 28 1870) was a French Impressionist painter whose major works often foreground the figure within a landscape painted en plein air.

Life and work

Frédéric Bazille was born in Montpellier, Hérault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, into a wealthy Protestant family. He became interested in painting after seeing some works of Eugène Delacroix. His family agreed to let him study painting, but only if he also studied medicine. His best known painting is Family Reunion of 1867–1868 (in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris).
Frédéric Bazille joined a Zouave regiment in August 1870, a month after the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. On November 28 of that year he was with his unit at the Battle of Beaune-la-Rolande when, his officer having been injured, he took command and led an assault on the German position. He was hit twice in the failed attack and died on the battlefield at the age of twenty nine. His father journeyed to the battlefield a few days later to take his body back for burial at Montpellier over a week later.
