DROUAIS, JEAN GERMAIN (1763-1788), French his torical painter, was born in Paris. His father, Francois Hubert Drouais, and his grandfather, Hubert Drouais, were well-known portrait painters ; and he studied first under his father, then under Brenet, and finally under David. He accompanied David to Rome, where he was influenced by the remains of ancient art and by the works of Raphael. Goethe, who was at Rome when the picture was finished, has recorded the deep impression made by his "Mar ius at Minturno." The last picture which he completed was his "Philoctetes on the Island of Lemnos."
