Alfred Édouard Chalon

Chalon, Alfred Édouard (b Geneva, 15 Feb. 1780, d London, 3 Oct. 1860). Swiss-British painter and illustrator. Much of what we know about the look of romantic ballet is owed to his lithographs and illustrations. He was Taglioni's portraitist and his 1845 lithograph of the Pas de quatre, with Carlotta Grisi, Marie Taglioni, Lucile Grahn, and Fanny Cerrito, is one of the most famous images in all dance.
