Romain-\u00c9tienne-Gabriel Prieur, born on August 21, 1806, in La Fert\u00e9-Gaucher (Seine-et-Marne) and died on May 22, 1879, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, was a renowned French painter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Disciple de Jean-Victor Bertin, Prieur se sp\u00e9cialisa dans le paysage historique. Tout en suivant les cours de l’\u00c9cole des beaux-arts, il pr\u00e9senta ses \u0153uvres lors de diverses expositions. En 1833, il remporta le grand prix de Rome, ce qui lui permit de s\u00e9journer en Italie pendant trois ans. \u00c0 son retour en France, il exposa de nombreux paysages et fut r\u00e9compens\u00e9 par une m\u00e9daille de bronze en 1842 et une m\u00e9daille d’argent en 1845.<\/p>\n
