Item Overview

Description

August Lancon (1836-1887) French painter, printmaker and sculptor. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and finished his studies in Paris. He became an animal sculptor in admiration for the works of Antoine-Louis Barye. During the Franco-Prussian War he was a sergeant of a battalion. Related to the Paris Commune, he was imprisoned for six months. Upon his release, he changed his name and is now called Auguste Lancon. He became military painter and participates in the Balkan War in 1877. He made several etchings showing scenes of war that he had witnessed. In 1893, the street-Auguste Lancon in Paris is named in tribute. His artist's studio, perfectly preserved, still exists in his birthplace, Saint-Claude, 3 College Street. Offered here is an original etching, Title: Enlevement des glaces au Bois de Boulogne, size: 7.5 x 12.5 inches (image size). This impression on laid paper is from the rare 1884 edition of French Etchers. Plate-signed; not hand-signed. Condition note - image and margin area around image is very good. Edge faults only.
