Félix Trutat (27 February 1824 – 7 March 1848) was a French painter, known primarily for portraits and nudes.
He studied with Léon Cogniet and Pierre-Paul Hamon at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He also absorbed stylistic influences from the Venetian Old Masters that he copied in the Louvre.[ citation needed]
He died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-four, with no known offspring.[ citation needed]
Many of his works are reminiscent of Gustave Courbet. A majority of them are in the collection of the Musée des beaux-arts de Dijon; including his self-portrait. Among those on display elsewhere is a portrait of an unidentified woman at the Musée national Jean-Jacques Henner.[ citation needed]
A street in Dijon has been named after him.[ citation needed]
His cousin, Eugène Trutat, was a well known photographer and Director of the Muséum de Toulouse.
His first painting, Nude Girl on a Panther Skin, was used by John Berger to illustrate the concept of the male gaze in his groundbreaking work Ways of Seeing. [1] [2] (Berger identified it within the book by an alternate title, Reclining Bacchante). [2]
