Biography
| Anne Valleyer-Costa(1744-1818): Anne Valleyer-Costa's early success as an artist--she was elected to the French Academie Royale when she was only twenty-six--is attributed to the recognition of still-life paintings as a viable artistic genre in eighteenth century France. Valleyer-Costa's works are varied in terms of their subject matter. Her still-life works included representations of every day objects such as fruits, game, bread and cheese as well as luxury objects and exotic arrangements such as her still-life with lobsters and silver covered glass ware. Valleyer-Costa enjoyed the patronage of Queen Marie-Antoinette and managed, despite her royalist connections, to survive the French Revolution. |
