Louis Faure

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean-Victor Louis Faure (* around 1785 or around 1796 in Berlin , † December 22, 1879 in Paris ) was a landscape painter and lithographer .

Life

Little is known about the life of the Berlin-born son of French parents.

It is certain that Louis Faure was in Paris around 1812 and was a student there in Jean-Victor Bertin's studio . From 1814 onwards, several graphic works by him were published there. In the years between 1814 and 1834 Faure also took part in the Paris Salon.

In 1822 he first returned to Berlin. But only two years later, in 1824, he finally moved to France and began working as a lithographer and teacher in Paris.
