Alexandre Cabanel (French: [kabanɛl]; 28 September 1823 – 23 January 1889) was a French painter. He painted historical, classical and religious subjects in the academic style.[1] He was also well known as a portrait painter. He was Napoleon III's preferred painter[2] and, with Gérôme and Meissonier, was one of "the three most successful artists of the Second Empire."[3]
