Auguste Jean Baptiste Marie Blanchard

Auguste Jean Baptiste Marie Blanchard is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Auguste Blanchard made prints of grand scenes from ancient myths. In *Triumph of Galatea*, drawn from a story about a sea nymph swept ashore, he carved delicate lines that let the light dance on water and drapery. Other artists in his time used prints to share stories like this one across Europe. Tap *Triumph of Galatea* to see how he balanced drama and calm in a single sheet.
