Jean-Hyppolite Flandrin was born in Lyon, France in 1809. He was one of three brothers, 
each of whom became a painter. After attending the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon for several years, the two brothers left for Paris in 1829, where they both enrolled in the studio of famous 
Jean-August Dominique Ingres, who became not only their instructor but their friend for life. Flandrin in 1832 won the Grand Prix de Rome and during his next five years in Rome Hippolyte painted most of his works based on mythology and his most famous work, "Jeune Homme Nu". After his return to Paris, Flandrin shifted to religious subjects, and he was engaged for the next two decades in painting murals in a number of churches throughout France. 
He died in Rome on 21 March 1864.Flandrin adhered closely to Ingres's focus on purity and perfection of lines adding a rich and suggestive homoerotic sense. Many of his mythological scenes concentrate on youthful males who express 'the perfect peace' of the Virgilian lyricism with a striking realism, blend the real and the ideal, the erotic and the contemplative, romanticism and realism.
