Lazare Bruandet (3 July 1755, Paris - 26 March 1804, Paris) was a French painter and engraver.
Little is known about his career. He began as the student of a wash painter named Jean-Philippe Sarrazin (d.1795). His later training, acquired in Germany, inclined him toward traditional, realistic landscapes. Upon returning to France, his style developed by painting outdoors (en plein aire, as it came to be known) in the forests surrounding Paris. He was often accompanied by his fellow landscape painters, Georges Michel and Jacques François Joseph Swebach-Desfontaines, who occasionally created the small figures in his works. [1]
In 1787, after coming home from a hunt, King Louis XVI was asked what sort of game he encountered. His response was: "I only met wild boars and Bruandet". [2] He was, in fact, said to be a difficult, argumentative person, and a staunch supporter of the Revolution. [3]
He was married to Catherine Linger and lived at several Paris addresses, until his final years, which were spent at the Saint-Honoré Cloister ; presumably for being penurious. Not long before his death, his uncle is said to have acquired five of his paintings for 500 Francs. [1]
François-Louis Français (1814–1897), usually known as Louis Français, was a French painter, lithographer and illustrator who became one of the most commercially successful landscape painters of the 19th century. A former pupil of Gigoux, he began his career by studying lithography and wood engraving, becoming a prolific illustrator and printmaker. His work as an illustrator is to be found in around forty books and numerous magazines from the late 1830s to the 1860s. Français also produced a large number of pen and ink drawings, enhanced by sepia, notable for their attention to detail and for their technical adroitness and conciseness.
