About Joséphine Calamatta
- Joséphine Calamatta (March 1, 1817 – December 10, 1893) was a French painter and engraver who painted portraits as well as symbolistic, religious and allegorical pictures. Her work was influenced by one of her teachers, the French neo-classical painter, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
- Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin was another of her teachers.
- Yet she had her own personal pictorial voice which through her striking and strong use of colour was also reminiscent of Italian Renaissance art and certain paintings of the Spanish Baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
