Antoine Chazal
French painter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antoine Chazal (8 November 1793 – 12 August 1854) was a French painter of flowers and of portraits, as well as an engraver.[1] He was born in Paris. 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]
