Ernest ange duez biography of mahatma gandhi

French painter (1843–1896)

Ernest Ange Duez (also known as Ernest-Ange Duez and Ernest Duez, 8 March 1843 – 5 April 1896) was a French painter of genre scenes, portraits, landscapes and religious subjects.

Although he was an admirer of Édouard Manet and owned paintings by Manet,^[1]Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Berthe Morisot, his palette was more subdued than that of most of the Impressionists, and his technique more controlled.

His style, between that of the conservative Paris Salon and Impressionism, has been called juste milieu, and he has been compared to Alfred Stevens, Giuseppe De Nittis,^[2] and James Tissot.^[1]
