George Rouault (1871-1958) was a French expressionist painter known for his deeply emotional and often religious-themed works. Born in Paris, Rouault studied under Gustave Moreau at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he developed his unique style that combined elements of Fauvism and Expressionism.
Rouault's paintings are characterized by their bold colors, thick impasto, and stark black outlines, often resembling stained glass. His subjects frequently include clowns, judges, and religious figures, all portrayed with a sense of compassion and human suffering. Rouault's strong Catholic faith deeply influenced his work, and he often explored themes of sin, redemption, and the human condition. His painting "The Old King" is considered one of his masterpieces, encapsulating his ability to convey profound emotion through simple yet powerful imagery.
