Aimée Thibault (2 January 1784 – 6 February 1868) was a French miniaturist who painted miniature portraits of people including Napoleon II and Ferdinand VII.
Early life
Thibault was born on 2 January 1784 in Bordeaux, France, and baptized on 4 January.[1] She was educated in painting by Étienne-Charles Le Guay and Daniel Saint;[2] Saint was influenced by the works of Jean-Baptiste Isabey, and this influence is reflected in Thibault's portraits.[3]
Artistic career
Thibault made her debut at the Salon art exhibition in Paris in 1804 and continued to exhibit her art there until 1810.[2] In 1817 she painted miniatures of King Ferdinand VII of Spain and his wife Maria Isabel of Braganza, described by the author Manuel Ossorio y Bernard as "perfect in appearance and cleanliness of work".[3][4] She traveled to New York City for a short time in 1836.[5]
Thibault died on 6 February 1868 at her house in Paris; she was buried on 7 February at Montmartre Cemetery.[6]
