Jean Grandville

Jean Ignace Isidore Grandville, real name Gerard, was a French painter of the second third of the 19th century. He is known as a draughtsman-illustrator and caricaturist.

Grandville-Gerard came from a family of artists and actors, a stage name he adopted for himself. His humor and rich imagination made him one of the leading caricaturists of his time. Depicting contemporary mores, he endowed animals and plants with human vices and people with the appearance of animals.

Grandville illustrated many classic literary works, including La Fontaine's Fables, Robinson Crusoe, Don Quixote, and Gulliver's Travels, becoming famous for his unique and vividly creative interpretations.
