| biography:
| Painter, born in Cluny, EC France. He studied in Dijon, trained with engravers in Paris, and went to Rome. He returned to work in a refined style not in accord with revolutionary Paris. Patronized, however, by the empresses of Napoleon, he was made court painter, and among his best work is a portrait of Joséphine. |
