As a self-taught artist, he began drawing and created his first caricatures, finding his motifs in everyday life in Liège and soon working with local newspapers. The newspaper Uylenspiegel, founded in Brussels by Félicien Rops, also published his drawings. In 1861, at the age of 28, he went to Paris. Now his caricatures and cartoons were frequently published in some of the most important illustrated satirical and news periodicals of the era, (eg Le Charivari, LEclipse, Le Monde Classique, Paris-Comique, LIllustration, Le Monde Illustré, Le journal amusant, Petit Journal pour rire). Renard signed by the name Draner, a pseudonym (Renard in reverse spelling) he used all his life for all his graphic work. When Draner was settling in Paris in the mid-19th century, the armies and navies of the world were engaging themselves in the art of display: reviews, parades, the exchange of visits by various branches and units, a mounting elaboration and variety in the design of uniforms and the social standing and activities of those of officer rank. All of these things caught and amused the eye and mind of Draner, and this was what he most happily and most successfully set out to caricature for the diversion and pleasure of all. The chief result of his observation and his artistry was the series of 136 full-color lithographic plates of high quality published by the firm of Daziaro in Paris and handsomely printed by the renowned establishment of Lemercier. The series was entitled 'Types Militaires: Galerie militaire de toutes les nations'. Soldiers and sailors of all countries and all ranks are shown with strong humorous emphasis on ludicrous situations and national characteristics, but, it must be emphasized, always with the strictest accuracy in the depiction of uniforms and accoutrements down to the most minor details of button, braid, fringe, or feather. The present lithograph comes from this very rare collection. From 1864 to 1893, Draner also designed costumes for theaters and opera houses. His imaginative stage clothes were intended for performances at the Scala in Milan, the Drury Lane Theater in London, the Théâtre des Galeries Saint-Hubert in Brussels, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, as well as the Parisian stages Théâtre du Châtelet, Théâtre de la Renaissance, Éden -Théâtre or the Folies Bergère. Draner died in Paris in 1926. He bequeathed his drawings to the University of Liège.Order number: 283775Many more antique maps and prints on our site antiquariat-voelkel.
