38Elisabeth Sonrel (1874 1953) was a French
painter and illustrator in the Art Nouveau style.
Her works included allegorical subjects,
mysticism and symbolism, portraits and
landscapes. She was the daughter of Nicolas
Stéphane Sonrel, a painter from Tours, and
received her early training from him. For further
study she went on to Paris as a student of Jules
Lefebvre at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. She
exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français
between 1893 and 1941, her signature pieces being
large watercolors in a Pre-Raphaelite manner. Her
paintings were often inspired by Arthurian
romance, Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy' and
'La Vita Nuova', biblical themes, and medieval
legends. At the Exposition Universelle of 1900,
her painting was awarded a bronze medal, and the
Henri Lehmann prize of 3000 francs by LAcadémie
des Beaux-Arts.
