Clément-Auguste Andrieux

Spécialiste des scènes de bataille

Peintre, dessinateur et graveur d'origine belge, Clément-Auguste Andrieux étudia à Liège entre 1862 et 1866, puis à Paris, où il entra dans l'atelier de William-Adolphe Bouguereau en 1867. Il se spécialisa particulièrement dans les scènes de bataille, notamment des épisodes de la guerre franco-prussienne, de la guerre de Crimée et des campagnes napoléoniennes. He achieved a measure of success early in his career, when one of his first exhibited works, a painting of The Capture of Sebastopol, was purchased by an English museum. Andrieux exhibited at the Salons in Paris from 1850 until his death, and also published a number of lithographs and engravings, including a set of thirty scenes illustrating the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871.
