Zepherin Belliard (Zepherin-Felix-Jean-Marius Belliard)

Chateaubriand

Zepherin Belliard's original lithograph, Chateaubriand is printed upon early nineteenth century wove paper and with full margins as published in Paris by Delpech in 1822. It hails from the collection of Paul F. Franco, New York. Chateaubriand is a fine, original example of portrait art created by the French artist, Zepherin-Felix-Jean-Marius Belliard.

Chateaubriand was a well known French author, diplomat, nobleman and adventurer. He left France shortly after the Revolution and spent an unsuccessful year in northern Canada attempting to track down the North-West Passage. He resided most of the following decade in London where he published his first literary work and returned to France in 1800 where he published two novels, establishing him as one of France's leading writers.

Title:	Chateaubriand
Artist:	Belliard, Zepherin-Felix-Jean-Marius, 'Zepherin Belliard' (Born, Marseille, 1798 - Died, c. 1843)
Date:	1822
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Publisher:	Delpech, Paris
Note:	Zepherin-Felix-Jean-Marius Belliard: Zepherin Belliard was active between 1820 and 1830. Zepherin-Felix-Jean-Marius Belliard was one of the fine early masters in this field. Belliard created at least fifty contemporary portraits of distinguished Europeans. Zepherin Belliard's lithographic art in portraiture, in fact, gained him full membership to the Restoration Salon in 1824. Officially, the Salon listed this portrait lithograph as being of the highest classification.
	Of the early lithographic printers and publishers, the names of Delpech and Charles Motte stand foremost. Delpech's Paris establishment was both a lithographic studio and a print selling gallery. During the 1820's, it became a major centre for both artists and patrons -- much like Rudolph Ackermann's London studio was at the same time. Lithographs bearing Delpech's mark were a constant in the initial Salon exhibitions.
	Lithography was not invented in France, but it was the French who first recognized the vast potential of this new medium as a fine art form. Led by such masters as Delacroix, Gericault, Boilly, Vernet and Charlet, a host of great artists were bringing the lithograph to the forefront between 1810 and 1835. Such was the high regard in France for this new form of art that the Restoration Salons began holding annual exhibitions in lithography as early as 1817.
Provenance:	This original entitled, lithograph Chateaubriand was formerly in the collection of Paul F. Franco, New York, 1931.
Note:	A well known French author, diplomat, nobleman and adventurer, Chateaubriand left France shortly after the Revolution (1791) and spent an unsuccessful year in northern Canada attempting to track down the North-West Passage. He resided most of the following decade in London where he published his first literary work, Essai Historique (1797). He returned to France in 1800 and published two novels, Atala and Rene, which established him as one of France's leading writers.
	Chateaubriand's diplomatic career commenced in 1803 when Napoleon posted him to Rome as his Ambassador. By the following year, however, he had turned anti-Bonapartist and quit his post. Upon the restoration of the French monarchy, Chateaubriand served as the Ambassador to Prussia (1821), Great Britain (1822) and Rome (1830). His famous Memoires were published posthumously.
