Fernand Cormon (Paris, December 24, 1845 - March 20, 1924) was a French painter. The Musée d'Orsay has his Cain Flying Before Jehovah's Curse; and for the Mairie of the fourth arrondissement of Paris he executed in grisaille a series of panels: Birth, Death, Marriage, War, etc. A Chiefs Funeral, and a series of large paintings for the Museum of Natural History in Paris with themes from the Stone Age, occupied him for several years. He was appointed to the Legion of Honour in 1880. Subsequently he also devoted himself to portraiture.
