Leroy first specialized in reproductive engraving, a field in which he received numerous official commissions such as the facsimile of Corregio\u2019s Madonna and Child, ordered by Napoleon III or, in collaboration with Wacquez, the reproduction of drawings from the Wicar collection commissioned by the duc de Luynes. In 1859, he exhibited at the Salon an album of 39 reproductions of drawings commissioned by Count Emilien de Nieuwerkerke, surintendant des Beaux-arts, who had the Chalcographie department in the Louvre buy many of them. Leroy was also very interested in photography, and executed several portraits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back in his native Lille, he founded a school of print in 1887 and taught printing in the Brussels Fine art school. \u00a0He trained many pupils and, at his death, left an important group of drawings, prints, paintings and photographs which were given by his widow to the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-arts in Lille.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A cheerful and outgoing artist, Leroy belonged to different rings of friends; during the time of his Parisian youth, he organized \u2018Friday diners\u2019 gathering his many friends, the painters Carolus-Duran, Alexandre Cabanel, Hector Hanoteau, Gustave Courvet, Paul Chenavard, Constant Troyon, Fran\u00e7ois-Louis Fran\u00e7ais and Camille Corot, the writers the Goncourt brothers, Paul de Musset, Henri Dumesnil and Paul Gachet and also the sculptor Aim\u00e9 Millet. With Paul Gachet, Leroy joined the <em>soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des \u00e9clectiques<\/em> (society of the eclectics) created by Agla\u00fcs Bouvenne in order to help artists in need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These animated portraits, full of life and humor, may have been executed during one of these friendly gatherings. These two portraits are very much alike, and it is tempting to see a double portrait of the same man. However, they differ by small details: they don\u2019t wear their collar in the same fashion, their eyelids and nose are differently shaped and one has a balder forehead and temples than the other. The man on the left seems a little older than the one on the right. They could therefore as well be two different men looking very much alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alphonse Leroy Lille 1829 \u2013 1902 Two Male Portraits Charcoal and white chalk on beige paper. 460 x 600 mm &#8211; 18 1\/8 x 23 5\/8 in. &nbsp; Born in Lille and trained in Brussels, Leroy settled in Paris in 1843 to complete his studies with the painter and engraver Charles Cousin whose atelier was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3855,"template":"","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[78],"product_tag":[37,346,173,353,313,421],"class_list":["post-3854","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-french-school","product_tag-19th","product_tag-19th-century-drawings","product_tag-charcoal","product_tag-gallery","product_tag-lille","product_tag-n7","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
