Proof. From Examples of Modern Etching. Alphonse Legros (1837 - 1911), painter, etcher and sculptor was born in Dijon. Legros worked as a decorative painter before studying at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. He was impressed by early Netherlandish art and Holbein, later by Courbet, and from 1859 was associated with Whistler and Fantin-Latour. In 1863 Legros moved to London, where he enjoyed the patronage of Constantine Alexander Ionides, and became Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School of Art, and a British citizen. He was also a prolific etcher, and a medallist. Condition: Tipped to presentation board, light creases to sheet. Condition: Tipped to album page. |
