Antoine Chazal

Antoine Chazal (8 November 1793 in Paris – 12 August 1854 in Paris) was a French painter of flowers and of portraits, as well as an engraver. [1] He studied under Misbach, Bidauld, and Van Spaendonck, and became Professor of Iconography at the Jardin des Plantes. Besides portraits, flowers, and fruit, he painted a few landscapes and altar-pieces for churches. He also engraved a portrait of Cardinal La Fare. Chazal died in Paris in 1854.[2]

Engravings

Chazal drew many effigies for the engraver and publisher Ambroise Tardieu, who does not mention it in his prints (see below the legends of the portraits)[3]

gollark: Also, £103/year on reading? That's only something like 15 books.
gollark: Just determine some reasonable amount of things to get for yourself and donate/save excesses, I guess.
gollark: You should not let yourself be bound by the wrong and bad spending habits of the median family.
gollark: You might want to actually have savings, as a worrying amount of people apparently don't.
