Not only was occasionally but more often as one can imagine. Just to give
you an example, Cézanne's self-portrait of 1861 was painted directly from a
photograph.
Degas, along with Delacroix, are perhaps the greatest exponents of the use
of photography for paintings. As an example, Degas' self-portrait: "Degas
saluant" circa 1862 was painted from a photograph; also his: "Portrait of
the princess de Metternich".
Courbet's "Les Baigneuses" and "La femme au perroquet", both were from a
photograph. The former from an unknown photograph and the latter from
Villeneuve. Also his painting "Le château de Chillon" was painted from a
photograph of Adolfe Braun. And his "Seascape" was from painted from a
photograph of one of the most outstanding photographer of the XIX century:
Gustave Le Gray's "Sky and Sea".
We don't even have to go that far in time, even one of the most influential
movement in painting: Cubism came from photography.
Regards,
Alejandro López de Haro
