BIOGRAPHY

French illustrator, etcher, and architect. He contributed to a number of collections celebrating France's landscape and monuments. These publications shared abundant praise of the French Middle Ages.

The artist's earliest training was in Dijon, where he became proficient in drawing, printmaking and architecture. Two areas, illustration and architecture, made for his superior understanding of buildings and their depiction. His graphic works for publication shows a mastery of the new medium of lithographyGLOSSARYThe oldest planographic printing method, invented by Aloys Senefelder in Munich between 1790 and 1798 and later modified numerous times. In this method the drawing is applied to limestone with lithographic ink or chalk. The acid applied afterwards to the plate causes the printing ink to adhere only to the drawing and only the drawing is transferred to the paper in the subsequent printing process..

His architectural activities included overseeing the restoration of ancient monuments.
