BIOGRAPHY:
Lucien ROUSSELOT, born on May 4, 1900, died on May 4, 1992. Official painter of the army, Knight of the Legion of Honour, Officer of Arts and Letters, Knight of the Academic Palms.
Painter and illustrator of military subjects, during his career, he produced a vast iconography depicting uniforms worn within the French Army from the 16th century to the late 19th century. Starting from the 1920s, he collaborated as an illustrator and uniform expert for the magazine "Le Passepoil" directed by Eugène-Louis Bucquoy, for whom he also illustrated certain series of cards devoted to the uniforms of the First Empire. A member of the society "La Sabretache," he also contributed to the society's magazine "Le Carnet de la Sabretache" until the 1990s. His major work is considered to be the series of 106 uniform plates dealing with, more than half of them, the French uniforms worn during the First Empire of the French Army, its uniforms, armaments, and equipment that he executed from 1943 to 1970. For the creation of his paintings and plates, he used articulated miniature soldiers and horse mannequins that he had made at a 1/7th scale, accompanied by accessories. He is buried in Marles en Brie (Seine et Marne).
