Life
Amable-Paul Coutan studied at French Academy in Rome and Beaux-Arts de Paris. Training under Antoine-Jean Gros is recorded. The recorded working language is French. Work by Amable-Paul Coutan is recorded in the collections of Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Cholet, Musée Réattu and Musée de l'Histoire de France. Distinctions recorded are Prix de Rome.
Coutan was born in Paris in 1792. He studied under Gros, and obtaining the Academy pension was thus enabled later on to improve himself at Rome. Returning to his native country he produced works, representing chiefly classical and mythological subjects, which realized considerable prices. He took a part also in the labour of decorating with religious subjects the church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. He died in Paris in 1837.
