CAROLUS-DURAN, the name adopted by the French painter, CHARLES AUGUSTE EMILE DURAND who was born at Lille on July 4, 1837, and died in Paris on Feb. 17, 1917. He studied at the Lille Academy and then went to Paris, and in 1861 to Italy and Spain for further study, especially devoting himself to the pictures of Velasquez. His subject picture "Mur dered," or "The Assassination" (1866), one of his first suc cesses, is now in the Lille museum; but he became best known afterwards as a portrait-painter and as the head of one of the principal ateliers in Paris, where some of the most brilliant artists of a later generation were his pupils. His "Lady with the Glove" (1869), a portrait of his own wife, was bought for the Luxem bourg. In 1905 he was appointed director of the French academy at Rome in succession to Eugene Guillaume.
