Louis-Charles-Marie Champigneulle (* 1853 in Metz , † 1905 in Savonnières-devant-Bar ; called Charles, also called Charles II because his grandfather was also called that) was a French glass painter who came from the Champigneulle family of glass painters .

Life

Charles Champigneulle first worked with his brother Emmanuel Champigneulle in Bar-le-Duc . Finally, in 1881, Charles took over the long -established Coffetier glass painting company in Paris . The company run by Charles Champigneulle has won several awards at international exhibitions and Charles was a member of the jury at the world exhibitions of 1889 and 1900 in Paris, which honored glassworks.

On the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris are also still stained-glass windows from the workshop of Charles to see Champigneulle.

Since Charles Champigneulle died in 1905, his son Charles Marie, architect and glass painter, took over the company. Charles Marie Champigneulle died in a car accident in 1908, leaving behind a son, Jacques Charles Champigneulle, who was only a year and a half at the time. According to family tradition, he also became a glass painter and produced the glass windows on the North Atlantic liner Normandy , which were made to designs by the painter Jean Dupas .
