Achille Devéria succeeded in something that many artists never achieved. He advanced at a young age to become a sought-after and respected artist of the young 19th century. After completing his school education, he immediately embarked on an artistic career and devoted himself to oil painting. At the age of 22, the painter already participated in an exhibition of the Paris Salon.
His younger brother also devoted himself to art and despite the closeness of the siblings, their choice of motifs developed in different directions. During a jointly run art school, Achille Devéria devoted himself to lithography. Lithographs were particularly in demand in the publishing industry and the artist received commissions to illustrate major novels. From then on, editions of "Don Quixote", "Robinson Crusoe" and "Faust" were adorned with fine graphic works of art, which Achille produced with the highest precision. Every artistic era experienced upheaval and was subject to constant change. Achille Devéria took up the changes and processed new currents in his art. Later, the artist skillfully took over the management of the graphic collection in the French National Library and headed the Egyptian collection of the Louvre. Unfortunately, an illness ended the life of this unusual artist, which hit him on a trip to Egypt.
The art scene of the early 19th century was slowly but steadily escaping religious influence. Especially in Paris, the scene of visual artists and literati merged together. Around Achille Devéria and Victor Hugo, an artistic scene formed with lively exchanges. The works of Achille show a wide range of motifs. This is due on the one hand to his different clients. Thus, he created small views that were reserved for the private view of his clients and provided erotic flair in the boudoir. On the other hand, good society commissioned demure devotional pictures intended for public spaces in the home. The literary industry ordered illustrations, and across genres, artists had portraits of themselves made. Famous are the interpretations Devéria elaborated of Victor Hugo and Franz List. Ernst Jünger described the selection of works with the words "sweet devotional pictures to works with fiery pornography" and thus captured the unusual spectrum.
