Léon Joseph Florentin Bonnat (1833-1922) was born in Bayonne, France. He developed into a skilled painter and later a renowned teacher to many students who became exceptional artists.
萊昂-約瑟夫-弗洛倫丁-博納特(Léon Joseph Florentin Bonnat, 1833-1922)生于法國西南部城市巴約納爷绘，是一名技巧精湛的畫家解藻，有眾多學生歸于其門下老充，其中許多也成為了十分優(yōu)秀的藝術家。
His earlier works were focused on religious paintings influenced by the Spanish Baroque style while studying under Federico de Madrazo in Madrid; he was also a great admirer of Velazquez. Later his subject matter focused on portraiture of prominent people in both America and Europe. His portraits show a firm command of realism as his depictions are almost photo-like in their authenticity. His use of more subdued colors in his palette helps bring more focus to his subjects.?At age 55 he became a professor of painting at the esteemed école des Beaux-Arts, and later, the Director. If his success as a teacher can be judged by his pupils, Bonnat can be considered very successful as painters such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, George Braque, and more thrived under his tutelage.
博納特早期的畫作受西班牙巴洛克風格影響螟左，多為宗教主題啡浊；他曾拜師費德里科-馬德拉索(Federico de Madrazo)，同時也是維拉斯奎茲(Diego?Velazquez)的擁護者胶背。后來他的主題集中在美國和歐洲著名人物的肖像畫上巷嚣。他筆下的肖像如照片一樣真實，展現(xiàn)出對寫實主義的高度掌控钳吟；同時他利用更柔和的色調凸顯畫面的主體人物廷粒。55歲時萊昂成為法國美術學院的繪畫教授，幾年后成為學院理事红且。若以麾下子弟表現(xiàn)來評判博納特的成就坝茎，他無疑是十分成功的。圖盧茲-羅特列克(Toulouse-Lautrec)暇番、托馬斯-伊肯斯(Thomas Eakins)嗤放、約翰-辛格-薩金特(John Singer Sargent)、喬治-布拉克( George Braque)等杰出的藝術家都是他的學生壁酬。
Bonnat was a prolific painter with many great works; I have chosen to highlight Leon Bonnat-Self-Portrait (1855). This painting shows Bonnat’s mastery of painting at a young age of 22. Clearly he is a talented artist; it is his arresting gaze, however, that stops the viewer and beckons you to look more closely. Bonnat’s piercing, and intimate glance seems to command your attention as if he has just told you a deep, dark secret. He depicts a powerful self-portrait that makes you want to know more about the man as well as the artist.
博納特是一位多產的畫家斤吐，今天為大家介紹《萊昂-博納特的自畫像》是他22歲時的作品，顯示了高超的技藝厨喂。這位極具天賦的畫家和措，向觀眾投來審視的目光，讓人不禁駐足向前蜕煌。那目光直達心靈派阱，似乎是在向你訴說一個不可告人的秘密，讓人不由自主深陷其中斜纪。這幅強有力的自畫像贫母，讓你不僅想要了解這位藝術家，更想走近這個現(xiàn)實中的人盒刚。
Bonnat lived a long life and died at age 89, leaving behind a museum he gifted to his birthplace of Bayonne where many of his works are still on display.
博納經歷了漫長的一生腺劣，89歲與世長辭，他把眾多杰出的作品留在了出生地巴約納的一家博物館因块，如今仍有他的許多作品在那里展出橘原。
