A Life in Light and Color
Born in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon, France, Georges Décôte was a painter who dedicated much of his career to the creation of stained glass and religious decorations. After studying at the École des Beaux arts de Lyon, he completed his training in the studio of Gustave Moreau in Paris. His professional journey saw him working under the guidance of G. Lameire until 1910, and he later served as a painting professor at the École des Beaux arts. His artistic output was diverse, ranging from religious works to portraits and depictions of musicians.
His religious commissions were extensive, particularly through his work for Louis Perrin. Notable stained glass and mosaic projects include:
Artistic Style and Technique
The style of Georges Décôte was characterized by a palette dominated by gray tones and themes revolving around sadness. In his religious decorations, he exhibited a preference for hieratism and the style of the "Primitives," sometimes creating panels that appeared archaizing in nature, such as his depictions of Saint-Thomas and Sainte-Thérèse. His approach was marked by scrupulous documentation of his subjects and a great precision regarding details and accessories, though he did not focus on developing symbolism. His work aligned with the sacred art movement situated between Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
