Biography: A student of Paul Delaroche at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, Charles Loyeux was a friend of Jean-Léon Gérôme, Adolphe Yvon and Armand Félix Marie Jobbé-Duval. He made his debut at the Salon in 1842.
A realistic painter of portraits, genre scenes, nudes and still lifes, Jules Verne wrote of him at the 1857 Salon: "M.
