Note:	Alphonse Legros: A very influential etcher on both sides of the English Channel, Alphonse Legros moved to England permanently in 1863 on the advice of his friend, Whistler. A master etcher if figure subjects, portraits and landscapes, Alphonse Legros assumed the head professorship of etching and engraving at the Royal College in South Kensington in 1875. Alphonse Legros later became the professor of art at the Slade School of Art, London. From this position he fashioned a standard and influenced many younger British artists, most notably William Strang, Charles Furse and Charles Holroyd. In total Legros's graphic oeuvre runs to 704 etchings.
	Most of Alphonse Legros's figure subjects were inspired by the artist's early impressions of French peasant life. Influences upon his art in this area have been traced to the paintings and drawings of Gustave Courbet and the art of Goya and the Spanish School. Relatedly, the theme of death figures prominently in the etchings of Legros. One may point to Holbein and other Northern masters of the Renaissance in this vein, but Alphonse Legros's treatment of this theme is all his own.
