Charles de Steuben
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Charles Auguste Guillaume Steuben (1788–1856), also Charles de Steuben, was a 19th Century French painter active during the Napoleonic Era.
He briefly trained Gustave Courbet.[1]
At the behest of Pierre Fontaine in 1828 de Steuben painted La Clémence de Henri IV après la Bataille d'Ivry, depicting a victorious Henry IV of France at Ivry.
de Steuben's Bataille de Poitiers, en octobre 732, painted between 1834 and 1837, shows the triumphant Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours (also known as the Battle of Poitiers).
