Gleyre, Charles (1806–74). Swiss painter, active mainly in Paris, where he enjoyed a successful career, particularly with anecdotal scenes, sometimes in an
antique setting, and portraits. He was a renowned teacher and when
Delaroche closed down his teaching studio in 1843, the majority of his students transferred to Gleyre. He taught
Whistler and several of the
Impressionists—
Bazille,
Monet,
Renoir, and
Sisley—and although his own paintings were conventional, he encouraged open-air painting (see
Plein Air). Renoir, however, said that his main strength as a teacher was that he left his pupils ‘pretty much to their own devices’. Gleyre closed his studio in 1864 because of an eye ailment.
