Camille-Léopold Cabaillot-Lassalle

Camille-Léopold Cabaillot, known as Cabaillot-Lassalle, born on September 8, 1839 in Paris and died in the same city on January 9, 1902, was a French painter.

[1] These depictions of refined interiors, both intimate and mundane, were extremely popular in the second half of the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States.

Individual and family portraits were commissioned by high society, as the Belle Époque corresponded to the golden age of the bourgeoisie, a relatively peaceful and stable period between the great European nations and multiple innovations in industry and technology bringing further improvement to the standard of living of high society.

[citation needed] Cabaillot-Lassalle's work is closely related to that of his Belgian contemporary Alfred Stevens, the great successful painter of the Parisian bourgeoisie and the elegant and elaborate fashion of the Second Empire style.

While the textures of the fabrics are of a more modest character in Cabaillot-Lassalle, described with less subtlety and detail, there is nevertheless the same attention to the rendering of hands, the opulence of the interior depicted, the atmosphere of luxury expressed by the tapestries, furniture and clothing.
