Jean-Jacques BESTIEU (1754–1842) The Death of the Artist Oil on canvas, signed lower right H. 89 cm – W. 119.5 cm HVS Damage and restorations In a cemetery filled with the graves of Nicolas Poussin, Appelle, Leonardo da Vinci, Cimabue, and even Raphael, Religion and Knowledge stand by the artist, who already has one foot in the grave and watches as his wealth and honors slip away. Death is already raising his scythe to bring his existence to an end. The first director of the Montpellier Museum presents here a striking allegory that should be dated to his career during the Restoration or the early years of the 19th century.
