SCHEFFER, ARY, born at Dordrecht, Feb. 10, 1797, died at Argenteuil, June 15, 1858. History and portrait painter, son of Johann Baptist Scheffer ; pupil of Guerin. Sympathiz- ing neither with the classic school repre- sented by his master, nor with the roman- tic led by Gericault and Delacroix, Scheffer took up a class of subjects which showed his sympathy with the cause of freedom, such as the Suliote Women, an episode of the Greek war, and the Battle of Morat. Influenced by Ingres, he sought and obtained greater purity of form, and painted subjects from Goethe and Byron. In 1836 he was appointed art in- structor to the Orleans family, and directed the studies of the Princess Marie in sculpt- ure. In 1836 he accompanied the Due d' Orleans and General Bandrand, whose widow he afterwards married, to the siege of Antwerp, and after his return painted several military episodes for Versailles. Be- tween 1835 and 1848 he produced his great- est works, the Christus Consolator and Ju- dex, the Francesca and the Mignons. When the Revolution broke out Scheffer assisted the King and his family in their escape from Paris, and then went to Holland and England for rest. The coup d'etat of 1852, which gave Louis Napoleon the throne, was a blow to his hopes which finally disgusted him with politics, from which he withdrew altogether. Five years later, after a last visit to England, he lost his friends Manin 124
