Challe, Charles Michel-Ange
French
French, 1718 - 1778
Charles-Michel-Ange Challe (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁlmiʃɛlɑ̃ʒ ʃal]; 13 February 1718 – 8 January 1778) was a French painter, draftsman and architect. Having studied with Boucher and Le Moyne, he was one of the most appreciated painters of his time and enjoyed a huge success across Europe. His architectural drawings in the style of Piranesi contributed to his appointment in 1764 as Draftsman of the Chamber and the Cabinet of the King, charge for which he would produce many ephemeral architectures for parties and great royal funerals. He played a pivotal role in the transition between rococo and classical styles and was one of the essential contributors to the creation of aesthetics known as the Louis XVI style.
