Charles Dusaulchoy (1781–1852)

Charles Claude Dusaulchoy, sometimes spelled Duchaulchoy, was a French painter born around 1781 in Toul and died in 1852 in Montmorency. A student of Antoine-Jean Gros and Jacques-Louis David, he worked in the Neoclassical tradition while moving closer to Romanticism.

A naval officer and professor of topography in the Imperial Guard, he simultaneously pursued a solid artistic career. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon between 1808 and 1850, where in 1810 he was awarded a second-class medal.

His compositions, often of historical and military inspiration, reflect his fascination with the Napoleonic epic. One of his best-known works is Napoleon I Signing His Abdication at Fontainebleau, now held at the Musée de l’Île-d’Aix.
