Alphonse Périn

Alphonse Henri Périn (12 May 1798, Reims - 6 October 1874, Paris) was a French painter and lithographer.

In 1817, he entered the École des beaux-arts de Paris, where he studied in the workshops of Pierre-Narcisse Guérin and Jean-Victor Bertin.

[1] He lived in Rome for nine years altogether, and often collaborated with Victor Orsel at the French Academy.

They were created with the assistance of his friend, Orsel, and Michel Dumas, a student of Ingres.

In addition to painting he wrote Le sculpteur suédois Fogelberg (E. Chunot, 1855), and Œuvres diverses de Victor Orsel (Rapilly, 1852–1878, 2 volumes), which was completed by his son Félix.
