  Marc Charles Gabriel Gleyre - LoveToKnow 1911
MARC CHARLES GABRIEL GLEYRE (1806-1874), French painter, of Swiss origin, was born at Chevilly in the canton of Vaud on the 2nd of May 1806.
It represents a poet seated on the bank of a river, with drooping head and wearied frame, letting his lyre slip from a careless hand, and gazing sadly at a bright company of maidens whose song is slowly dying from his ear as their boat is borne slowly from his sight.
In spite of the success which attended these first ventures, Gleyre retired from public competition, and spent the rest of his life in quiet devotion to his own artistic ideals, neither seeking the easy applause of the crowd, nor turning his art into a means of aggrandizement and wealth.

 Hauptman, W.: Charles Gleyre, 1806-1874: Life and Works and Catalogue Raisonné (2 vols.).
Known chiefly for his role as a teacher of the leading Impressionists, Charles Gleyre (1806-1874) won great acclaim for his own paintings at home in Switzerland and abroad, eventually gaining recognition as the most eminent Swiss painter between Fuseli and Hodler.
One of his aims is to explore the importance of Gleyre's art and influence in nineteenth-century France and Switzerland.
Drawing on recently discovered documents, letters, and sketchbooks, Hauptman provides new information on Gleyre's extensive voyage to the Middle East, his unorthodox attitudes toward his own paintings and their exhibition, the originality of his major works for French and Swiss patrons, and his unconventional teaching career that spanned twenty-five years.

 Emile Zola critique de Charles Gleyre
L'oeuvre de Gleyre mêle l'influence des romantiques à celle du néo-classicisme : le peintre a travaillé l'aquarelle avec Bonington, il a été l'ami de Léopold Robert (1794-1835) et d'Horace Vernet (1798-1963).
Lorsque Zola analyse le rôle de Gleyre dans le jury de 1866, le peintre, sincèrement républicain, a renoncé à l'attitude intransigeante qu'il avait adoptée après le coup d'Etat de 1851 : loin de refuser d'exposer au Salon, il est devenu membre du jury, où il est entré par la petite porte.
Peut-être M. Gleyre s'est-il souvenu d'une terrible leçon que, selon la chronique, lui aurait infligée M. Ingres, au château de Dampierre, où les deux artistes avaient à peindre des fresques dans la même salle.
