As a teacher, doubtless, his sensitive organiza- tion and prolonged ill-health made his moods variable ; his ilhjes^ too, amused themselves by observing an assumed Napoleonic style in his folded arms, method of wearing his hair, and frequent contemplative attitudes ; instead of deliberate afFe6lation, however, this pardonable weakness may have arisen unconsciously, and, in some degree at least, is easily traced to indi- vidual and not imitative traits. The peculiar ability and genuine sentiment... of Delaroche fitted him to inspire aspirants in art, as few of his clever but less earnest contemporaries could ; and his suggestions were valued by his pupils as coming from one not less remarkable for deep insight and sym- pathy than great technical skill. It was a casual word of Delaroche that decided Gignoux to turn his attention to landscape art Having accom- panied a number of his fellow-students on a summer excursion to Switzer- land, he brought to Paris, among other sketches, a view of a Swiss village, and one of a cottage interior ; and when Delaroche saw them, he exclaimed : " You are strong here ;--be a landscape-painter." Drawn to this branch of art by his own taste and love of nature, and encouraged by his master's opinion, Gignoux thenceforth devoted his pencil almost exclusively thereto.
