Hippolyte Berteaux

Hippolyte-Dominique Berteaux (28 March 1843, Saint-Quentin, Aisne - 17 October 1926, Paris) was a French painter who specialized in murals and portraits.

[1] He studied painting at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he worked in the studios of Hippolyte Flandrin, Léon Cogniet and Paul Baudry.

He then moved to Nantes, where he created portraits, genre scenes and landscapes; with the local dunes being a favorite subject.

His most notable works of that type are the murals on the ceiling of the Théâtre Graslin, and the staircases at the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Hôtel de Ville [fr].

He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français [fr], where he obtained a second-class medal in 1885.
