Antoine Borel
Antoine Borel (born with Paris in 1743, died in the first quarter of the 19th century) is a painter, Dessinateur and engraver French.
Wire of a Portraitist, he devoted himself initially to the same kind of painting, then delivered himself preferably to the representation, generally to the Aquarelle, of the subjects of manners and the political allegories, which he engraved sometimes itself, with the point or of black manner. Finally he became almost exclusively draftsman of labels, and was made a name there. If, in this speciality, it put many time its talent at the service of erotic books, it made also many compositions for serious works: Plutarque (1783); the Theater of the Greeks (1785-1789); the Works of Belloy (1787); Charles IX , tragedy of Chénier (1790); the Works of Regnard (1790), etc Those carried out for the Œuvres of Berquin are impressed of an infinite grace, and constitute one of its best productions. The drawings of Borel, with the feather, the Indian ink, sepia, the bistre, always very neat and are very finished , the bibliographer Gustave Pawlowski writes.
