The work of internationally renowned painter of Count Bernard de Clavière is currently on view in the Tennessee State Museum’s changing galleries. Bernard de Clavière: Animilier Extraordinaire will present 67 paintings on loan from private collections.

Born in Lyon, France in 1934, de Clavière and his wife, Barbara, relocated to Nashville in 2002, where the artist already had many friends among the Nashville art and equestrian communities.

During his youth, de Clavière moved to Paris, where he worked in an office during daylight hours and spent his nights drawing his “beloved” horses. He was influenced by the art of George Stubbs and Jean-Baptiste Oudry, both renowned animaliers, artists known for their realistic portrayal of animals. De Clavière’s painting technique improved as he experimented with light and in mixing his subjects with the background, and he eventually discovered his own classical style. In 1972, New York’s Wally Findlay Galleries featured some of de Clavière’s work, but it was at his 1975 exhibition at the John Partridge Gallery, London, where he had his first sold-out show.
