Eugène Sadoux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean Eugène Sadoux (13 March 1841 – November 1906) was a French painter, lithographer and etcher.[1][2]

Born in Angoulême, he studied under Edward Harrison May and assisted him in the painted decoration of his birthplace's town hall. He also studied drawing and engraving in Paris,[3] creating illustrations for Le Magasin pittoresque, Le Monde illustré and l'Illustration.

In 1871 he produced watercolours of the Commandery in Cressac-Saint-Genis, thus preserving details of that painting which have since been lost. The Matin Charentais of 11 May 1895 contained a short biography of him, whilst Le Charentais of 4 4 May 1889 describes an exhibition of twelve of his engravings. He died in Tunis.
