Albert Louis Aublet (French pronunciation: [albɛʁ oblɛ]; 18 January 1851 in Paris – 3 March 1938 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) was a French painter known primarily for his genre scenes and nudes.[1]
Trained in the workshops of Claudius Jacquand and Jean-Léon Gérôme, he had his first exhibit at the Salon in 1873. He received honorable mention there in 1879 and was awarded a third-class medal in 1880. He also collected medals at several international events, including the Exposition Universelle of 1889. He was decorated with the Legion of Honor in 1890.[2]
During his overseas trip in 1881, his experiences in the Middle East had a profound influence on his artistic inspiration. Istanbul left an especially strong impression on him. His first Orientalist painting "Turkish Woman in the Baths" was a great success and he became President of the Société des Artistes in Tunis.
He was also a professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and is believed to have been the inspiration for M. Biche, a fictional painter in Remembrance of Things PastbyMarcel Proust.
His son was the architect, Louis Aublet [fr] (1901–1980), who married Marie-Germaine Ablett, daughter of the painter William Ablett, in 1931.[3]
