French, 19th century, male.

Painter, engraver. Military subjects, genre scenes, seascapes, landscapes.
Son and pupil of the landscape painter Jules André, the first painter to be employed at the Sèvres porcelain factory, Edmond André studied in Paris under Isidore Pils, and exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1867, most notably in 1875. Meticulous almost to a fault when painting military figures and scenes, he demonstrates a much more fluid and free touch in his landscape and seascape work. He also produced engraved blocks of costumes, menus and programmes.
