Julien Vallou de Villeneuve (1795-1866) French lithographer, photographer and painter. From his debut at the
Salon of 1814 as a painter he regularly exhibited lithographed images of
daily life, fashion, regional costumes and erotica, many done after the
work of English and Dutch artists. He also published his own lithographed
compositions, mostly 'female types'. With Achille Deveria and others he
contributed to the compendium of romantic erotica called Imagerie galante
(Paris, 1830), which provocatively updated an erotic mode found in
18th-century engravings. The subjects were pictorial versions of stock
characters from popular novels and plays.
