SARAZIN DE BELMONT, Louise Joséphine

French painter. She was a pupil of Valenciennes, the grandfather of French landscape painting. She excelled at landscape and architectural painting herself, and regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon in the years between 1812 and 1867, a substantial Salon career for a woman painter. In 1831 she was awarded a second class medal there, and in 1834 she garnered first prize. Her paintings may be seen in the collections the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, in museums in Dresden, Hanover and Montauban, and in several French museums including the Louvre, Paris.
