Henri-Charles-Antoine Baron

Henri-Charles-Antoine Baron maintained an active artistic career spanning the mid-nineteenth century, documented by works created between 1816 and 1853. His verifiable output focuses heavily on graphic arts, with fourteen prints and one drawing represented in major American institutions.

The artist’s historical significance is affirmed by substantial holdings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art. These collections preserve key examples of Henri-Charles-Antoine Baron prints that showcase diverse subjects, ranging from figurative genre scenes to detailed functional design.

Notable works held in museum collections include the compositions Italian Dancers, A Siesta in Italy, and the hunting scene Meeting of the Hunters. Other documented pieces illustrate his technical versatility, such as the design study Design for a Clock and the multi-part print Venitian Songs, Act V of Cosima; (Verso) Title page for 'Album Musical'. As many works from this period have entered the public domain, high-quality prints derived from institutional records are often used for research and reproduction today.
