Felix François Barthélémy Genaille is a French painter, engraver, designer and lithographer born in Monceau-les-Leups in the Aisne in 1826. He began by training at the Drawing School of Saint-Quentin in the class of Louis Lemasle (1788-1876), then entered the Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of twenty-one. While following the courses of Chassériau and Ingres, he attends the workshop of Ary Scheffer, which allows him to better express his romantic temperament. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon in 1846. Genaille during the Second Empire was successful as a portrait painter and produced many official portraits (Napoleon III, Eugenie) as well as more intimate works representing members of the imperial court and of the upper middle class. He received many orders for religious paintings to adorn private chapels and regularly presented at the Salon until 1874 genre scenes inspired by positive feelings. His style is marked by a perfect technical mastery in the service of the romantic exuberance of the subjects. As a portrait painter, he strives to restore the personality of his models and his works are always of great psychological finesse. He set up his workshop in Paris in the new districts where his customers reside (boulevard de Rochechouart then rue Blanche) while having a property in Bois-Colombes. Genaille died in 1880. His works are present in the collections of the Musée d'Orsay. His official portrait of Napoleon III is on display at the Risorgimento museum in Rome.
