Charles Landelle Biography
(b Laval, 2 June 1821; d Chennevières-sur-Marne, 13 Dec 1908). French painter. His father, a calligrapher and musician from Mayenne, moved to Paris in 1825 to take up a post as musician in the Tuileries. Ary Scheffer, whom Landelle met through his father’s contact with the Orléans court, encouraged him to become a painter. He registered at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts on 2 October 1837 as a pupil of Paul Delaroche and made his debut at the Salon in 1841 with a Self-portrait (Laval, Mus. Vieux-Château). His first success, Fra Angelico asking God for Inspiration (exh. 1842; untraced), indicated a sentimental, religious tendency in his work, which alternated with pretty pictures of young girls. Charity (exh. 1843; Compiègne, Mus. Mun. Vivenel), commissioned by Antoine Vivenel (1799–1862), was followed by Idyll and Elegy (untraced), which were bought by the dealer Adolphe Goupil on the opening day of the 1844 Salon. The contract to buy also included Goupil’s right of first refusal on the reproduction of all Landelle’s future work. Subsequently, he painted the Three Marys at the Tomb (exh. 1845; Perpignan, Mus. Rigaud) in the pious manner of Ary Scheffer and a sweet, angelic St Cecilia (exh. 1848; Paris, St Nicolas-des-Champs), commissioned in 1845 by the Prefect of the Seine, in which elements of the early Renaissance art seen by Landelle on a trip to Italy in 1845 combined with the soft, pale style common among some of his colleagues from the studio of Delaroche. He also painted religious works for St Roch (1850), St Germain l’Auxerrois (1856) and St Sulpice (1875) churches in Paris. The competition for a figure of the 1848 Republic suited his talent as a painter of single, idealized figures, and his entry (Paris, Louvre), posed impressively like a Renaissance saint, was liked more than most.
