BIOGRAPHY - Louis Emile Adan (1839-1937) Born in Paris in 1839, Louis Emile Adan began his study of art in the 1850s, a decade of political tumult and revolution in France and throughout Europe, with workers demanding fair wages, decent working conditions and universal male suffrage. In February 1848, French republicans overthrew Louis-Philippe, the so-called "Citizen King", and established the Second Republic. The well known poet, Alphonse de Lamartine was appointed president of the provisional government, and subsequently replaced by an elected president, Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, in December of 1848.
