Anne Louis (Girodet De Coussy) Girodet-Trioson, a French painter, born in Montargis in 1767, died in Paris, Dec. 9, 1824. He was a pupil of David, and obtained the great prize, which enabled him to go to Rome in 1789. During a residence of five years in Italy he sent to Paris the " Sleeping Endymion " and "Hippocrates declining the Gifts of Arta-xerxes." On his return to Paris in 1795, he painted portraits of Chateaubriand and Hor-tense, and several large pictures, as " Danae," " The Seasons " for the king of Spain, " Fingal, Ossian, and their Descendants welcoming to their Aerial Palace the Manes of French Heroes," and in 1806 his most esteemed work, "A Scene of the Deluge," which created a great popular sensation and bore away the prize from David's " Sabines." In 1808 he completed his "Funeral of Atala," in 1810 his " Revolt at Cairo," and in 1819 his " Pygmalion and Galatea." His literary remains were published in 1829, in 2 vols.
