Léon Gaucherel Art

French, 1816-1886

Léon Gaucherel was one of the pupils of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc whom he accompanied to Sicily in the 1830s. He illustrated a Projet de Restauration de Notre-Dame proposed by Viollet-le-Duc and Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus in 1843. In 1844, he realized several artworks with the etching technique; people called him "the father of the Etchings." Gaucherel realized several impressions for the Gazette des beaux-arts representing landscapes and architecture decorative motives. In 1845, he became the director of the illustrated magazine L'Art, founded by Eugène Véron. Gaucherel passed away in Paris, France, at the age of 69 in 1886.
