Bazille, Frédéric
Bazille, Frédéric (
b Montpellier, 6 Dec. 1841;
d Beaune-la-Rolande, 28 Nov. 1870). French painter, one of the early
Impressionist group. In 1862 he became a student at
Gleyre's studio in Paris and there met
Monet,
Renoir, and
Sisley, with whom he painted out of doors at Fontainebleau and in Normandy. He was primarily a figure painter rather than a landscapist, but he sometimes set his compositions in the open air, as in his best-known work, the large
Family Reunion (1867–8, Mus. d'Orsay, Paris). Bazille died in action during the Franco-Prussian War, cutting short a promising career. He came from a wealthy family and had given generous financial support to Monet and Renoir.
