Footnotes

Lambert was born in Paris in 1825. He was a pupil of Eugène Delacroix and learnt painting in the traditional style, copying the old masters at the Louvre. Whilst doing so, he was greatly inspired by the Flemish School, as his canine and cat paintings demonstrate.

With a still life of birds exhibited in 1847, Lambert debuted at the Salon. In 1854, he moved to the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs in Paris, where he lived with other artists including Toulmouche. Lambert's great success at the Salon was in 1857 with Cat and Parakeet; thereafter, he gained a world-wide reputation as a painter of cats and dogs, and was dubbed the 'Raphael of Cats'. He received medals in 1865 and 1870.

In 1874, Lambert was presented with the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and in the same year he painted Baron de Rothschild surrounded by his dogs.
