!! Conversational Troping Alexandre Cabanel engaged in:
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: After having his ''Art/TheFallenAngel'' harshly criticized and rejected by the Salon of Paris art judges, Cabanel commented to his patron that such was his reward for trying to be a performer instead of the technician that the Academists demanded of him.
--> "That’s my reward for all the trouble I gave myself not to submit an average piece of work [...]"

When Cabanel was a pupil, he faced a tough public in his fellow Academic artists. Paintings like ''The Fallen Angel'' were called sloppy and too {{Romanticis|m}}t in style due to, respectively, not yet following perfect proportions (just near perfect, mind you) and displaying emotions too raw. It was only after he perfected his technique that he was acknowledged by the Academy as a proper artist and his art to be coveted by notable figures of his time.

Ironically enough, the "uneducated" public, still adores some of his paintings, if only because modern art has gotten increasingly abstract and less straightforward since then. In other words, the beauty and message of a Cabanel are easier to interpret than those of a Mondrian.

%% Possibly, the painting Cabanel's most famous for. At least in contemporary times, given the amount of {{Fan Art}}ists using it as a template for characters who undergo a FaceHeelTurn. It's also an OlderThanRadio example of the KubrickStare. It depicts Lucifer just after he's expulsed from Heaven, so the feelings of shame, anger, and hurt are very fresh. When he submitted it to an art contest, the judges accused the painting of being too [[{{Romanticism}} Romantic]] in style and sloppy.

Alexandre Cabanel was a French painter of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_art Academicism]] artistic movement which, in other words, means he was a technician. And a virtuoso, at that, painting an extremely realistic self-portrait at thirteen.

* ConceptArt: As Academicism heavily encouraged, Cabanel drew lots of sketches (today known as Master Studies) before working on the actual oil painting. Some are pose references while others are mock paintings to figure the color palette. Most of them are available online or compiled in the 1989 art exposition "Déssins d'Alexandre Cabanel 1823-1889" of the Musée Fabre, France.
* SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty: Idealism is an artistic aesthetic featured in Academic, and therefore in Cabanel's, paintings. As [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin its name indicates]], it's about idealizing reality to a standard of perfection and beauty that can only be found inside one's imagination. This means the artworks depicted no blood or dirt even when the scene would have required them and the textures were clean, smooth, and even outright shiny sometimes (in the case of metal surfaces and skin). Furthermore, the characters had always an air of heroicness in the Greek sense even if they were evil.

Cabanel, however, is one of the few who managed to create meaning and convey complex emotions ''within'' the Academist conventions. He is, in particular, the best representative of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27art_pompier L'Art Pompier]]; i.e., those huge [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance Renaissance]] allegorical (religious, classic, or historical) murals. And that explains why he was [[UsefulNotes/RevolutionsOf1848 Napoleon III's]] preferred artist and the public's favorite.

As a fun fact, he had a lot of pupils. You can count those who also made a name of their own by the dozens.

!! Relationship with art critics:
When he was a pupil, he faced a tough public in his fellow Academic artists. Paintings like ''The Fallen Angel'' were called sloppy and too {{Romanticis|m}}t in style due to, respectively, not yet following perfect proportions (just near perfect, mind you) and displaying emotions too raw. It was only after he perfected his technique that he was acknowledged by the Academy as a proper artist and his art to be coveted by notable figures of his time.

Several years after his death, the TechnicianVersusPerformer debate between academic and modern art ensured he was put to the wringer by exponents and defendants of the latter. His art was deemed lifeless, monotone, and too lacking in the "conveying emotion" department. He was used as the scapegoat representative of Academicism which, in turn, was regarded as everything wrong with the period's art.

Ironically enough, the "uneducated" public, still adores some of his paintings, if only because modern art has gotten increasingly abstract and less straightforward since then. In other words, the beauty and message of a Cabanel are easier to interpret than those of a Mondrian.

%% * CriticalDissonance:
%% ** When he was a pupil, Cabanel faced a tough public in his fellow Academic artist. His art was called sloppy and too Romanticist in style. To call sloppy ''The Fallen Angel''... The public, of course, loved his paintings. His relationship with art critics remained rocky -- at times appraising him, then despising his art. It was often his most inspired and emotional-heavy works the ones receiving the second treatment.

* ArtImitatesArt: Academicism was all about this trope -- using a not-so-{{Small Reference Pool|s}} (the Classical Mythology and Christianity) following strict rules of proportion and composition, which greatly hindered creativity and caused artists to repeat the masters' artworks over and over. Cabanel, despite disagreeing with it in his youth, wins a contest by imitating Giorgione's ''Art/{{Sleeping Venus|Giorgione}}''. He later learns to give his own OriginalFlavor to such Renaissance paintings.

(1847): Possibly, the painting Cabanel's most famous. At least in contemporary times, given the amount of {{Fan Art}}ists using it as a template for characters who undergo a FaceHeelTurn. It's also an OlderThanRadio of the KubrickStare. It depicts Lucifer just after he's expulsed from Heaven, so the feelings of betrayal, anger, and hurt are very fresh.

!! Trivia about Alexandre Cabanel:
* CriticalDissonance:
** When he was a pupil, Cabanel faced a tough public in his fellow Academic artist. His art was called sloppy and too Romanticist in style. To call sloppy ''The Fallen Angel''... The public, of course, loved his paintings. His relationship with art critics remained rocky -- at times appraising him, then despising his art. It was often his most inspired and emotional-heavy works the ones receiving the second treatment.
** Several years after his death, the TechnicianVersusPerformer debate between academician and modern art ensured he was put to the wringer by post-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism_(arts) idealist]] art critics. The "uneducated" public, still adored some of his paintings, if only because modern art got increasingly abstract.

Cabanel, however, is one of the few who managed to create meaning and convey complex emotions ''within'' the Academist conventions. He is, in particular, the best representative of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27art_pompier L'Art Pompier]]. Those huge UsefulNotes/Renaissance allegorical or historical murals. And that explains why he was UsefulNotes/NapoleonIII's preferred artist.

->''"Of all the academic painters, Cabanel was both the most adored by the public and the most criticized."''
-->-- '''Jean Nougaret''', art historian from the Montpellier Academy of Sciences and Letters.

Alexandre Cabanel was a French painter of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_art Academicism]] artistic current which, in other words, means he was a [[TechnicianVersusPerformer technician]]. And a virtuoso, at that.

Academic Art is the LawfulNeutral of the arts because it sets strict rules of how art must be done. Some people regard it as LawfulStupid since it heavily constrains creativity and doesn't put the expression of emotion as its highest priority -- which is the primary reason why modern art was born.

Cabanel, however, is one of the few who managed to create meaning and convey complex emotions ''within'' the Academist conventions. He is, in particular, the best representative of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27art_pompier L'Art Pompier]]. Those huge UsefulNotes/Renaissance allegorical or historical murals. And that explains why he was UsefulNotes/NapoleonIII's preferred artist.

As a fun fact, he had a lot of pupils. You can count them by dozens.
