Delnatus, Jean-Baptiste 1948-1990 Jean-Baptiste Delnatus was born in Grande Riviere du Nord and died in Port-au-Prince in 1990. Until 1972, Delnatus lived in Cap Haitian (known for its magnificent Citadel) and worked as a mechanic. He then moved to the Port-au-Prince vicinity and settled in Carrefour. It was here that Calixte Henri discovered the artistic potential of Jean-Baptiste. At Henri's invitation, Delnatus moved into Calixte's studio and began a patient and laborious apprenticeship. Having furthered his skills considerably, he began to show paintings in 1974. His pieces were characterized by great precision. Two years later, the village of Port Salut became his home. Delnatus discovered endless subjects for his paintings in these peaceful, sun-drenched surroundings. Ever present in his work is the breathtaking countryside and fields filled with palm, mango and lemon trees. The art of Delnatus depicts every-day scenes alive with colorful realism.
