Emile Aubry was a pupil of Gérôme and later of Carolus-Duran. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français between 1905 and 1937. He was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1907, the Prix Henner in 1926, and a gold medal in 1920. He became an officer of the Légion d’Honneur in 1938, and was a member of the Institut de France from 1935.
Remaining attached to Gérôme’s Academicism, Aubry painted and drew nudes, mythological scenes, portraits and pastoral scenes in a Neo-Greek style. His figures, with their ample and sculptural forms, along with his depiction of nature as a lost paradise, symbolise an idealised notion of perfection.
In 2003 Aubry’s work featured in the group exhibition The School of Algiers ( L’École d’Alger) at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux.
