CHASSERIAU, Theodore, artist, born in Samana, Santo Domingo, in 1819; died in Paris, 8 October, 1856. He studied painting with Ingres in Paris, and followed him to the French school of Rome, but afterward left him, having given rein to his own original ideas, and next attached himself to the school founded by Delaroche. He executed several of the mural paintings in the palace of the council of state, Paris, and his works are found in some of the principal Parisian churches. His chief works are the "Tepidarium at Pompeii," in the 590 CHASTELLUX museum at the Luxembourg ; "Arab Cavaliers carrying away their Dead"; "Susanna and the Elders" ; "Christ in the Garden of Olives" ; and" Mary Stuart defending Rizzio against his Assassins." He left fifteen etchings of subjects from Shakespeare's "Othello," and thirty from "Hamlet."
