Berlioz’s photos
and portraits
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.
This oil on canvas portrait is by Paul Siffert painted in 1907 after an original of 1832 by Émile Signol. This painting is in the Musée Hector Berlioz at La Côte Saint-André. 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.
The original copy of this drawing is in a private collection.
