Nude by Durieu

Jean Louis Marie Eugène Durieu (1800–1874) was an early French nude photographer, primarily known for his early nude photographs of men and women. A number of his male and female models were also painted by Eugène Delacroix, with whom he was friends.

Biography

Durieu was born in Nîmes, and became known for making studies of nudes for Delacroix.
During his career Durieu was a lawyer. His last job was inspector for education and culture. In 1849 he went into early retirement and devoted himself to the newly developing technology of photography. In 1853, Durieu worked with Delacroix on a series of photographs of different male and female nude models.
On 15 November 1854, Henri Victor Regnault founded the French Société française de photographie (SFP), one of the earliest photographic societies in the world, and was its president. Regnault wanted to see notable individuals with strong scientific expertise in fields such as chemistry, physics, optics, photographic techniques in positions of the association, on the basis that the scientific component is an important aspect of photography. Between 1854 and 1855, Durieu played a key role in the organisation of the association; and other notables involved included Olympe Aguado, Hippolyte Bayard, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel, Edmond Fierlants (fr), Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros, and Gustave Le Gray. Durieu resigned in 1856, after a case of forged documents.
Durieu died in Paris in 1874.

:-Nude- 1851

Jean Louis Marie Eugène Durieu (10 décembre 1800, Nîmes – 16 mai 1874, Genève) est un photographe français connu pour ses photos de nus, dont certaines servirent de modèle pour Eugène Delacroix.
Entre 1854 et 1855, Eugène Durieu tint un rôle essentiel dans la constitution de la société française de photographie (SFP) à ses premières heures. Ancien haut fonctionnaire d'état, il maîtrise parfaitement les aspects administratifs et législatifs et construit véritablement la structure de la SFP. Il place Henri Victor Regnault à la présidence de la société et souhaite voir des individus notables ayant des compétences scientifiques fortes (chimie, physique, optique, techniques photographiques) en occuper les postes les plus décisifs. Ce faisant, il pose comme postulat essentiel que la photographie ne peut exclure de sa nature, son identité, la composante scientifique.
En 1856, compromis dans des affaires de faux documents, il se retire définitivement de la société qui observera à ce propos le silence le plus obscur.
