Adrien Moreau

L'Archer de Charles IX ("The Archer of Charles the 9th")

Adrien Moreau's L'Archer de Charles IX ("The Archer of Charles the 9th") is an original grisaille painting by the French artist in 1898. It was painted to illustrate an edition of Balzac's Lost Illusions ('Illusions Perdues'), published by George Barrie & Son, Philadelphia in that year. In total, Adrien Moreau created around ten grisaille paintings for this illustrated classic, which were then etched by such artists as Alfred Boilot, Charles-Theodore Deblois and Francois-Xavier Le Sueur. L'Archer de Charles IX clearly displays Moreau's gifts as a historical painter and illustrator.
