Excerpt from Catalogue of the Private Gallery of Valuable Paintings Belonging to Mr. Edward M. Knox: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale at Mendelssohn Hall, Fortieth Street, East of Broadway on the Date Herein Stated
One day in 1842, or so, there was a 'veritable riot among the students of the Alaux Art School at Bordeaux. It was occa sioned by the award of the prize of the year to a shop keeper's young clerk, from La Rochelle, who was taking daily drawing lessons of two hours each, which his employer allowed him to abstract from business. The young Bohemians had such a contempt for the young clerk that they resented with violence the fact that he should win the honor of the school above their heads. But Bouguereau received the prize in spite of their protests, and it decided his career. He determined to become an artist. His family objected. He persisted, threw up his employment at the shop, and went, penniless, to live with his uncle, who was a priest at Sain tonge, and to paint portraits of the townspeople for a few francs each. Out of his earnings he contrived to save 900 francs, on which capital he proceeded to Paris, entered the studio of Picot, and secured admission to the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1843, at the age of eighteen years. He lived by incredible shifts, finally receiving some small assistance from his family, until, in 1850, he won the Prix de Rome. For four years he was a pensioner and student in Rome, and he returned to Paris an artist competent to the execution of great works. Public commissions and private patronage soon laid the foundation of his fortune. He became a Mem ber of the Legion in 1859, and an Officer in 1876, during which year he was also elected a Member of the Institute of which he became President. He received the Medal of Honor twice - in 1878 and in 1885-and was decorated with numberless foreign orders. Born at La Rochelle, November.
