Julien Deturck, pseudonym of Jules Alphonse Deturck, born in Bailleul on February 23, 1862 and died in Belvès on December 18, 1941, was a French engraver and pastel artist. In 1887, he was admitted to Alexandre Cabanel's class and was also a student of Léon Bonnat and Gustave Jacquet. Seeing the purity of his drawings, the latter advised him to focus on engraving. He was then admitted to the class of Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont, whose engraver Jules Gabriel Levasseur was his substitute. In 1888, he was awarded the second Grand Prix de Rome for intaglio engraving. After graduating from the Beaux-Arts, he devoted himself primarily to engraving and pastel. He achieved his first success in 1894 for the engraving of a Tanagra discovered in Athens by the architect Titeux. He achieved his second success for the engraving The Dream of Eros after the painting by Jules Machard. He received a 3rd class medal at the 1899 Salon, then a silver medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition. In 1901, he won the 2nd class medal at the 1901 Salon for the engraving The Young Brother after the painting by William Bouguereau. Adolphe William Bouguereau, born on November 30, 1825 in La Rochelle and died on August 19, 1905, was a French painter. In his realist paintings, he used mythological themes, offering modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female figure. He was one of the major representatives of French academic painting of the late 19th century. The Société Française des Amis des Arts was founded in 1885 at the Palais de l'Industrie for the development of the arts, supported by numerous distinguished subscribers: Messrs. Gaston Doumergue (President of the French Republic), Baron Edmond de Rothschild, Count Greffulhe, the brothers Alfred, Jules, and Léon Bernheim, Louis Boucheron, Edgar Brandt, Emile Buland, Paul Chabas, Viscount Guy de Dampierre, Colonel Francis E.
