About Pierre Narcisse Guérin
Pierre Narcisse Guérin (1774–1833) was a French painter and teacher. His studio trained Théodore Géricault, and working from a live model formed an important part of the shared teaching practice associated with his circle.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art attributes Study of a Nude Man (ca. 1810–20), included in Old Town Magick’s selection, to a follower of Guérin rather than to Guérin himself. The artist reference groups the work with this historical teaching context; it does not assert direct authorship.
