Identity and origins
Identity and origins
The 1791 work was a depiction of Abimelech Taking Sarah. The first prize was originally awarded to Pierre-Charles Bridan. Recognising his achievements in the concours, Gois' fellow students wrote to the King, Louis XVI, to ask that another first prize be awarded. The King had Arnaud II de La Porte, intendant of the Civil List, write to the Academy stating that, finding the students’ petition justified, he requested that the Academy proceed with awarding the prize that had not been given in 1786 to Gois, as he had received the greatest number of votes after Bridan.
The authorities additionally record the headings Edme-Etienne-François Gois, Edme-Etienne-François Gois Fils, Edme Etienne François Gois and Edme-Etienne-François, le fils Gois. His recorded language was French. He was the child of Étienne-Pierre-Adrien Gois.
