Carolus-Duran
Carolus-Duran (pseudonym of Charles-Émile-Auguste Durand) (b Lille, 4 July 1837; d Paris, 18 Feb. 1917). French painter. His early works included peasant scenes influenced by Courbet's realism, but from about 1870 he concentrated on portraits (particularly of women), becoming a great fashionable success with his slick style.
