BRACQUEMOND, FELIX (1833 )

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 369 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BRACQUEMOND, FELIX (1833 ) , French painter and etcher, was born in Paris. He was trained in early youth as a
trade
  lithographer, until
Guichard
 , a pupil of
Ingres
 , took him to his studio. His portrait of his grandmother, painted by him at the age of nineteen, attracted Theophile Gautier's attention at the Salon. He applied himself to engraving and etching about 1853, and played a leading and brilliant
part
  in the revival of the etcher's art in France. Altogether he has produced over eight hundred plates, comprising portraits, landscapes, scenes of contemporary
life
 , and bird-studies, besides numerous interpretations of other artists' paintings, especially those of
Meissonier
 , Gustave Moreau and Corot. After having been attached to the Sevres
porcelain
  factory in 1870, he accepted a post as art manager of the Paris atelier of the firm of Haviland of
Limoges
 . He was connected by a link of firm friendship with Manet,
Whistler
 , and all the other fighters in the impressionist cause, and received all the honours that await the successful artist in France, including the grade of officer of the Legion of Honour in 1889.
