| biography:
| Painter and etcher, born in Dijon, E France. Influenced by Courbet, he was associated with the early Impressionists and exhibited at the Salon des Refusés (1863). In that year he moved permanently to London and became Slade professor at University College London (1876–92), where he exercised a strong traditional influence. He abandoned Impressionism and became an important graphic artist. He produced over 750 etchings, and was noted for his original portraiture, and for his landscape and figure studies. |
