Achille Devéria, full name Achille Jacques-Jean-Marie Devéria, was a French painter, illustrator and lithographer, the older brother of the Romantic painter Eugène Devéria (1805-1865).
Devéria became a successful book illustrator, making drawings for Johann Goethe's Faust, Cervantes' Don Quixote, and Charles Perrault's fairy tales, while gaining fame for his erotic miniatures. Deveria's work was dominated by light, sentimental or frivolous subjects. But he was also a talented and popular portraitist, painting portraits of many famous writers and other notable contemporaries.
In 1849, Deveria was appointed head of the engraving department of the National Library.
