Paul Dominique Philippoteaux - vendere e comprare opere
27 January 1846, Paris (France) - 28 June 1923, Paris (France)
Philippoteaux initially trained with his father, specialising in battle scenes and history paintings, and subsequently with Alexander Cabanel (1823-1889) and Léon Cogniet (1794-1880) at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. He travelled extensively to the United States and in 1883 he executed a large-format painting depicting the Battle of Gettysburg. Philippoteaux was especially well-known for his Orientalist subjects, most of them in Cairo, where he settled in 1883.
