Albert Lynch was born in 1851 in Trujillo, Peru. He settled in Paris, where he studied at l'École des Beaux-Arts. Lynch worked under the guidance of painters Jules Achille Noël, Gabriel Ferrier and Henri Lehmann. He showed his artwork in the Salon of French artists which he won in 1890 and 1892 and in the World's Fair of 1900 during which he received a gold medal. The women of his time were his favorite subject to paint and he preferred Pastel, Gouache and Watercolor although he occasionally worked in the Oil technique. His work maintained the spirit of the Belle Époque. He illustrated such books as Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas, fils, Le Père Goriot by Honoré de Balzac and La Parisienne by Henry Becque.

This is so exciting.

We all learn, we all enjoy seeing great art and we all get to discuss.

It is impossible to comment on everything but that is good because we are all active here.

I resist bringing an image today to allow us all to enjoy the postings so far.

Thank you Miguel.

This is beautiful.

We often fail to see and therefore miss so much beautiful art from the Middle East.

Because of the religious themes we often feel too ignorant to be able to comment without fear of embarrassment.

I have spent some time looking at these images.

#Thank you again.
