artist

Gorguet was an Academic French artist who was trained by Boulanger, Gerome, Bonnat and Morot.  His academic training was so strong that he was asked by the Opera House to illustrate many of their posters and he made his living illustrating many books of the time.  In the market today this is most of what circulates and comes to light by the artist.  He was ultimately made a professor of Drawings at L’Institut.
