Julien

Opera in a prologue and four acts by Charpentier to his own libretto (1913, Paris), a sequel to Louise.

French family of artists. Three members of the Julien family from Toulon became artists. The two most notable, (1) Simon Julien and his brother (2) Laurent Julien, were both painters, and the former was also an engraver. Joseph-Laurent Julien (d Toulon, 1805), nephew of both Simon and Laurent and active from the 1790s, was a draughtsman and engraver who made several prints after such works of Simon's as the Rose Defended and Tithonus and Aurora. He also engraved his own compositions, several of them allegories relating to the upheaval of the French Revolution (e.g. Love of Glory: To the French Soldiers, 1791).
