Edmond Dehodencq
Edmond Dehodencq (* 1860 ; † 1887 in Paris ) was a French painter and etcher.
Dehodencq was the son of the painter Alfred Dehodencq and his wife Rosa Calderón; a distant relative of the Spanish writer Pedro Calderón de la Barca .
Dehodencq got his first artistic lessons from his father. With the support of this he was able to make his debut with two works at the great annual exhibition of the Paris Salon in 1873 at the age of 13 . Dehodencq was able to take part in these exhibitions regularly until the end of his life.
Dehodencq created many of his etchings based on the works of his father , which Gabriel Séailles later used as illustrations for his biography of Alfred Dehodencq.
At an exhibition in the Paris Salon in 1880, Dehodencq showed a bronze bust of his father, which he had created for his tomb.
The painter and etcher Edmond Dehodencq died in Paris in 1887 at the age of 27.
