Anatole Devosge

Anatole Devosge (13 January 1770 – 8 December 1850) was a French painter.

[1] David's work Les derniers moments de Michel Lepeletier survives only in a sketch by Devosge.

The sketch formed the basis of Tardieu's engraving, distributed by the government to all 84 departments of France as part of the propaganda campaign following the death of Lepeletier and Jean-Paul Marat.

Many of Devosge's works are held by the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon.

A character in Joris-Karl Huysmans The Oblate (1924) comments "Oh, what an absolute ass was this Devosge, what a priceless old woman!
