Born in the Spanish colony of Santo Domingo
(now the Dominican Republic), Chassériau
(1819-1856) was the son of a French
adventurer father and Haitian mother.The
family returned to Paris shortly after
Chassériau’s birth. As a child, Chassériau
displayed precocious drawing skill; he was
accepted into the studio of Jean-Auguste-
Dominique Ingres in 1830 and by age 11
had become the renowned Neoclassical artist’s
favorite student. Chassériau made close to
30 etchings and lithographs during the mid-
1800s. Beraldi 25.
