[[File:Marc-Louis Arlaud - Portrait de la famille Arlaud.jpg|thumb|325px|Portrait of the Arlaud Family]]
'''Marc-Louis Arlaud''' (26 September 1772, [[Orbe (Vaud)|Orbe]] - 1 May 1845, [[Lausanne]]) was a Swiss [[portrait painter]]. He was the first Director of the [[Canton de Vaud|Vaudoise]] Cantonal School of Design and the first [[Conservator-restorer|Conservator]] of what is now known as the [[Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts]] in Lausanne.
== Biography ==
He originally attended school in Orbe, then in [[Yverdon-les-Bains|Yverdon]]. His initial artistic training came from his cousins, the [[miniaturist]]s and Jérémie Arlaud (1758-1827) in [[Geneva]]. In 1797, he went to Paris where he worked in the studios of another miniaturist, Antoine Louis Romanet (c.1742-1810), until he could begin studies with [[Jacques-Louis David]] in 1799.
He and his father both became citizens (bourgeoisie) of Orbe in 1802.
In 1811, he was expelled from France for a "délit d'opinion" (offensive opinion) concerning the conduct of [[Napoleon]] and his government. He returned to Lausanne and opened a workshop where he taught drawing. In 1821, the [[Grand Council of Vaud]] adopted a decree that would establish an official drawing school. The following year, the [[University of Lausanne|Academy of Lausanne]] held a competition to select the first Director and chose Arlaud. He retained that position until his death.
Hoping to establish a fine arts museum, he donated 34,000 Francs to the city for that purpose. In exchange, he requested a lifelong pension and his offer was accepted in 1834. The museum was designed by and inaugurated in 1841.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2PHrkWI ''L'espace Arlaud''], ville de [[Lausanne]]</ref> Arlaud was named to be the Curator/Conservator and held that position until 1844. During his tenure, he built the museum's collection, which included a large donation of paintings from the family of [[Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros]] and many works by contemporary artists.
Near the end of 1844, he became bedridden due to illness and died in Spring the following year. He left 2,500 Francs to the government of Vaud to commission a painting from [[Charles Gleyre]], a local painter who was then living in Paris. The painting, which depicted the local hero, [[Abraham Davel]], on the scaffold was completed in 1850. It was destroyed by fire during an act of vandalism in 1980.
In 1904, the works from the Musée Arlaud were transferred to the [[Palais de Rumine]]. The portion housing the collection is now known as the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts. <ref>[https://ift.tt/2QT79Br L'Espace Arlaud sur le site des musées vaudois]</ref>.
