Artist
Jean Christophe Alexandre
Jean Christophe Alexandre is a Romanticism painter. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art, most of them watercolors.
Jean Christophe Alexandre had a knack for catching people at their most ordinary, like Thomas Dillard in 1834, staring straight out of a tiny ivory square with a face that looks like it’s about to ask for the time. He painted miniatures so small you could miss them if you blinked, yet they hold entire lives in a inch-square gaze. If you like your art with a side of “wait, how’d they even do that?”, hunt down his Watercolor on ivory portraits at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Dillard’s stare is the friendliest starting point.
