A BIOGRAPHICAL DlCTIONARY OF
he has left make ua deeply regret that the irregu-
larity of his life has limited these admirable pro-
ductions to a much smaller number than his
uncommon facility would otherwise have secured
to us. Cliatelain was much employed by Boydell,
especially in engraving with Vivares the series of
landscapes after Claude, Rembrandt, Guaspre, and
others. Vivares being more appreciated by the
public, his name was often placed on plates en-
graved by Cliatelain alone, as in the case of a fine
landscape after Pietro da Cortona, and another
named 'The Storm,' in which Poussin has intro-
duced the story of PTamus and Tliisbe. He en-
graved, also for Boydell, eleven views in London
and in Italy. He died in London in 177L The
following list comprises his most important works :
The Four Times of the Day; etched by Chatdain.
afterwards finished in mezzotint by Houston.
Eight Landscapes ; aftt r Gaspard Poussin.
A Landscape ; after liemlrandt.
Eight Views of the Lakes in Cumberland and 'West-
moreland ; after Bellers.

and F. Jioloynese.

CHATELET, Claude Louis, a French painter, was born in Paris in 1753. He produced Swiss views, sea-pieces, and pastoral scenes in the style of Vernet. Examples of his work are in the Orleans Museum, the Palace at Fontainebleau, and the Cottier Collection. He embraced with ardour the cause of the Revolution, allied himself with Robespierre and the leaders of the Jacobins, and became a member of the Revolutionary Tribunal. He was arrested some months after the 9th Ther- midor, tried, condemned, and executed in Paris, May 7th, 1795.

He also painted some historical subjects — the ' Death of Locke ' in 1833, the ' Battle of Killiecrankie ' in 1836, and 'Ophelia' in 1837 — but his powers were not equal to such works. He wrote some articles for ' Blackwood's Magazine,' and the ' New Monthly Magazine,' and died in 1839.
CHATILLON, Charles de, a native of Doullens, was a French painter who executed a tine portrait of Napoleon I. as Emperor, of which there is an ex- cellent engraving by Audouin.

CHAUDET, Antoine Denis, a distinguished French sculptor, who was also an historical painter, was bom in Paris in 1763. When at Rome he studied particularly the works of Raphael, and has left behind him a picture on the subject of '^neas and Anchises.' The edition of Racine published by Didot in 1801—1805, contains some illustrations after his designs. He was elected a member of the Institute in 1805, and died in Paris in 1810.
His wife, Jeanne Elisabeth Gabiou, was like- wise an artist of talent. She was born in Paris in 1767, and married in 1793. Her studies were made under the direction of Madame Lebrun and of her husband, and in 1799 she exhibited her best work, ' L'Education du Carlin.' She also painted some good portraits. After the decease of Chaudet she married, in 1812, M. Husson, and died in Paris in 1832.
CHAUFOURIER, Jean, a French landscape painter and engraver, was born in Paris in 1675. He married a daughter of the celebrated engraver, Gerard Edelinck, and taught drawing to Mariette. He was received into the Academy in 1735, and died at St. Germain-en-Laye in 1757. There are three of his drawings in the Louvre, and we have a set of eight landscapes engraved by him.
CHAUVEAU, Evrahd, a French painter, the son of rran9oi3 Chauveau, was born in Paris in 1660, and studied under his father and Henri Lefebvre.

He died in Paris in 1739.
CHAUVEAU, Francois, a French painter and engraver, was bom in Paris in 1613. He studied under Laurent de La Hyre, and painted small pic- tures in the style of that master, but not meeting with mucli success, he devoted himself entirely to engraving. His first attempts were with the graver, but he soon exchanged it for the point, with which he could give more rapid expression to the creations of a lively and fertile genius. His smaller plates are much in the manner of S^bastien Leclerc, and these are his best works. He is said to have produced upwards of three thousind plates, most of which were for the illustration of books. He was received into the Academy in 1663, and, died in Paris in 1676. He was the father of Evrard Chauveau, the painter, and Rene Chauveau, the sculptor. His plates are signed FCfe.; FC in et fc. ; FC in et sc. ; F. C ; F. Ch. d. ; or with ciphers. The following are his principal works:
