Eugene Stanislaus Alexandre Blery,
French, 1805 - 1887


A drawer, engraver and lithographer who was born at Fontainlebleau. He is a very personal artist who deserves research by art collectors. He was the son of a senior officer of the genie troups and was himself a professor in mathematics. He followed his art production from first to last steps and it is a fact he printed own handed his etchings and lithographs. In 1830 he refused the help from protectors and concentrated entirely on landscape art. He visited regions in France like Auvergne and Dauphiné. In 1836 in Lion he was impressed by the etchings  of De Boissieu and started to make his own etchings in that manner. He was supported by the family Montalivet and obtained a great success during his lifetime. He got all the honours of the Paris Salons and worked together with the cabinet of prints to establish a collection of his work. He was also the tutor of Charles Meyron, another very inspired artist.
