François Flameng (1856–1923) was a notable French painter during the last quarter of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th.[1] He was the son of Léopold Flameng, a celebrated printmaker, and received a first-rate education in his craft.
Flameng later received renown for his painting of World War I. He was named honorary president of the Society of Military Painters and an accredited documenter for the War Ministry. His work was displayed in the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris, as well as being reproduced in newsmagazines. At the time they were painted, Flameng's war paintings were derided by many critics for being too realistic and not including heroic drama (although his paintings seem romantic to eyes which have seen photographs of genocide and nuclear war).
Most of his war paintings were donated to the Musée de l'Armée in 1920. In 1919 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Honorary Corresponding Academician.
Flameng married Marguerite Henriette Augusta Turquet (1863–?) at Neuilly-sur-Seine on 30 November 1881.[2] Their daughter Marie married the tennis star Max Decugis, whom Flameng also painted.[3]
