엘리자베스 채플린(Elisabeth Chaplin), 프랑스, 화가, 1890-1982
프랑스의 예술가 집안에서 태어난 '엘리자베스 채플린'은, 10살 때 가족과 함께 이탈리아로 이사를 갔습니다. 우피치미술관을 방문하고 나서 미술에 푹 빠져버렸죠.
정식교육을 받지는 않았지만 그녀는 우피치미술관에서 명작들을 보고 따라 그리며, 그림을 배우기 시작했습니다. 그리고 자화상과 가족들을 모델로 한 인물화를 많이 그렸답니다.
1930년대에 이탈리아 파시즘이 정권을 잡자 프랑스로 갔다가, 전쟁이 끝난 후 토스카나로 돌아와 그곳의 풍경화를 그리며 평생을 이탈리아에서 살았답니다.
About Her
Elisabeth Chaplin is the artist with the most works in Florence’s collections. Chaplin was a French-born artist who came from a family of painters and sculptors. Her mother was a poet and sculptor. Her uncle was a painter and engraver who taught artists like Mary Cassatt. Chaplin began painting with no formal training. After moving to Tuscany as a child, she taught herself by copying from classic works at the Uffizi Gallery. She also had a chance to visit Francesco Giolio’s studio and meet painter Giovanni Fattori.
The Chaplin family moved to Rome in 1916 and it was there she met Paul-Albert Besnard, a French painter and print maker who would become one of her mentors. The artist’s work often features colorful family scenes and portraiture. She exhibited widely in Italy before moving to Paris in the late 1930s, where she created large-scale public works at Notre-Dame du Salut and Saint Esprit and was awarded the French Republic’s Legion of Honor. Later in life, the artist settled in Fiesole and was honored with shows in Florence’s most prestigious venues such as Palazzo Strozzi and a posthumous exhibition in Palazzo Vecchio.
