Charles Joshua Chaplin
Charles Joshua Chaplin was a French painter and printmaker.
He studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris and initially painted realistic landscapes. Later, however, Chaplin became known for his elegant neo-Roco portraits of young women. These sensual images of women and young girls posing erotically in misty surroundings and often dressed in transparent clothing attracted the interest of high society and the aristocracy of the time.
In the mid-19th century, Chaplin's works were a great success, he was often exhibited in the salons in Paris and at the Royal Academy of Arts in Great Britain and was one of the most popular painters of the Second Empire.
