Diogène Maillart

Diogène Ulysse Napoléon Maillart (28 October 1840 – 3 August 1926) was a French painter, illustrator, designer, teacher and art critic.

[1] After returning from Rome in 1869, he was appointed a Professor of drawing at the Gobelins Manufactory, a position he occupied for fifty years.

[3] At the request of Prince Von Donnersmarck and his wife (known as "La Païva"), Maillart decorated the ceiling of Schloss Neudeck [de] in Upper Silesia.

A series of murals he created for the City Hall in Beauvais also fared poorly; being destroyed by German bombs in 1940.

[6] His grave in the Cimetière du Montparnasse is adorned with a bust sculpted by Henri-Léon Gréber.
