Description

An oil on board painting of Charles-Francois Gounod 1818-1893.

French composer notable for Faust, Romeo et Juliette and Ave Maria. Later in life he became the first conductor of what is now the Royal Choral Society. One critic stated his doubt to Gounod composing Faust prompting Gounod to challenge a duel. The critic withdrew his statement!

Depicting him towards the end of his life circa 1880-90 and contemporary to the period this painting does show age related wear but is full of period charm and character.
