Charles Albert Waltner was born in 1846 in Paris. He was the son of Charles Jules Waltner, an engraver.
He initially devoted himself to painting and attended the studio of Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He then turned to the art of engraving with Achille-Louis Martinet and Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont. In 1868, he won the Prix de Rome for intaglio engraving. After producing small pieces, he devoted himself to large-scale interpretive engravings of many great masters, including Delacroix, Gainsborough, Henner, Titian, Millet, Monet, Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, Velasquez, and others. He became an engraver at the Gazette des Beaux-Arts and then at l'Art from 1873 to 1879. He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1882, then an Officer in 1899.
He was a member of the jury and exhibited at the first International Exhibition of Black and White in 1885 at the Pavillon de Flore, and participated as a founder in the reopening of the Société nationale des beaux-arts in 1890. From 1906 until his death in 1925, he was a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris as head of the etching workshop. In 1908, he was admitted to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863)
Considered the leader of the Romantic school, Eugène Delacroix was born in 1798 into a wealthy family. His mother, Victoire Oeben, was the daughter of Louis XV's cabinetmaker, Jean-François Oeben, and his father, Charles Delacroix, successively held the positions of minister, ambassador, and prefect. It was his uncle, Henri-François Riesener, who allowed him to join the studio of Pierre-Narcisse Guérin in 1815, where he became friends with Théodore Géricault. Delacroix made his debut at the Salon in 1822 with The Barque of Dante, illustrating his taste for Renaissance literature and drama. Moving away from the neoclassicism then in vogue, the young painter looked to Michelangelo and Rubens, converting to chiaroscuro. Always close to current events and also affected by the orientalist wave, in 1824 he presented the Scenes of the Massacres of Scio, in reference to the Greek War of Independence. In 1828, his Death of Sardanapalus caused a scandal among academic critics but received the support of Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas. A concern for rigor emerged with Liberty Leading the People, where dynamism and plastic research took precedence. In 1832, Delacroix traveled to the Orient and described in his famous notebooks his observations and his feeling of an intact Antiquity. The last twenty years of his life were occupied by numerous public commissions for major decors: the Palais Bourbon, the Senate, the Louvre, etc. The painter died in 1863, not without having influenced a large number of artists with his works, whose freedom from convention already foreshadowed Impressionism.
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 illustrious 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. Drake, André Fallières, Louis Lévy, Paul Louchet, Maurice Moisset, Louis Montagné, Alfred Montézin, Raymond Poincaré (former President of the French Republic), Eugène Roy, Madame Rueff, Gaston Stalins, Madame Sophie Witthoff, etc...
