Berlioz’s photos and portraits

Berlioz
1832 – Berlioz in Rome

    This portrait was probably painted by Emile Signol, at the Académie de France, Villa Medici, where Berlioz spent some time as a Prix de Rome laureate during his trip to Italy in 1831-1832. The original portrait is now hung in an office at the Villa Medici.

We are most grateful to Madame Chantal Spillemaecker, formerly Conservateur au Musée dauphinois and Conservateur du Musée Hector-Berlioz for sending us an electronic copy of this portrait.
