Alphonse Legros (1837 -1911) - Estudo de uma cabeça masculina
Alphonse Legros , é um pintor, gravador, escultor e medalhista francês naturalizado britânico. Praticamente desconhecido na França de hoje, ele foi, no entanto, bastante famoso durante sua vida, especialmente entre os pintores franceses por seu perfeccionismo e seu academicismo intransigente. Incentivado por Whistler mudou-se para Londres em 1863 onde obteve pela primeira vez o cargo de professor de gravura na South Kensington School of Art antes de ser chamado para a University College London onde de 1876 a 1892 foi um mestre dedicado ao ensino e seus alunos, aprofundando o estudo de artistas antigos como Holbein, Rubens ou os designers italianos do Renascimento. De facto, a sua influência nos designers britânicos do final do século é importante e duradoura, participa no renovado interesse da época pela gravura. Em 1880 foi membro fundador da Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Sem ser perfeitamente anglófono, mas reconhecido pelo establishment, obteve a nacionalidade britânica em 1881 e continuou a sua criação em Inglaterra, especialmente no domínio da gravura (gravuras e medalhões), sem contudo abandonar as suas ligações com França: em 1862, ele foi membro fundador da Society of Etchers co-fundada por Alfred Cadart em Paris, com quem manteve contato.

Aimé-Jules Dalou (1838 – 1902) was a 19th-century French sculptor of working class origins who was admired for his perceptiveness, execution, and unpretentious realism.
Alphonse Legros (1837 – 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist. He moved to London in 1863, and was later naturalized as British. He became important as a teacher in the British etching revival, a revival that lasted until 1929. The market for etching and drawings was one of many markets that became severely negatively affected by the Wall St crash....
