A Classical Courtship (1853). Auguste Toulmouche (French, 1829-1890). Oil on canvas. As a practitioner of Costume Painting, Toulmouche adapted the emotional expressiveness found in earlier history painting to the depiction of romantic narratives based on everyday life. There is clearly a relationship to acting techniques in this imagery as well; Toulmouche’s figures express a range of sentiments through stylized gestures that would have been part of a standard theatrical repertoire.
