Eugène Carrière (1849-1906) was a French Symbolist painter, lithographer, and sculptor known for his atmospheric, monomchromatic style of domestic intimacy scenes and for his portraits of distinguished literary and artistic personalities.

The misty appearance of Carrière’s work was prized by contemporaries tired of precisely detailed and realistic paintings. A critic once compared Carrière’s style to that of his colleague Auguste Rodin, writing, “Rodin paints in marble and Carrière sculpts with shadow.” - Mysterious Art Century Instagram - Facebook - Twitter - Pinterest
