Biography
Pierre Carrier-Belleuse, born in 1851, was
the son of famous painter and sculptor Albert Carrier-Belleuse.
Similarly to his brother Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse, he learned
his artistic trade from his father. He studied under Alexandre
Cabanel and Galland at the École des Beaux-Arts and exhibited at
the Paris Salon for the first time in 1875. He mastered working
with pastels, and was best known for his scenes of the ballet, as
well as producing landscapes, historical, and genre works.
He exhibited regularly at the Salon and other venues in Paris
including the Society of French Artists (1888) and the National
Society of Fine Arts (1893-1911). He received an honourable mention
for his work in 1887 and a silver medal at the Exposition
Universelle in 1889.
His work can be found today in many museums across France, including in La Rochelle, Gray and Le Puy.
