Charles Joseph Auriol was a son of Pierre-Elisée d'Auriol, colonel in the service of the King of Sardinia , and Anne-Elisabeth nee. Turrettini. He was a student of Pierre-Louis de La Rive (1753-1817) in Bern and of François-André Vincent and Anne Louis Girodet-Trioson in Paris .
After a stay in Rome , he settled in Geneva around 1810. He married Anne-Jeanne Marguerite Dunant in 1811 and was the father of Philippe Élisé Auriol (April 8, 1814–1866) and Louis Philippe Gustave Auriol (August 31, 1816–1882).
