(än-lw zh rôd ´-tr ôzôN´) (KEY) , 1767–1824, French painter. His name was originally Girodet de Roussy or Roucy. He was a student of J. L. David. He won the Prix de Rome and while in Italy painted the Sleeping Endymion (Louvre), which brought him recognition. His Deluge (Louvre) demonstrates his interest in unusual color and lighting problems. Much of his work, including a series for Malmaison, glorifies Napoleon. His Atala at the Tomb (1808; Louvre) was inspired by Chateaubriand. His classical training was sometimes at variance with his romantic expression.
