Also known as

François Antoine Maxime Lalanne

François Antoine Maxime Lalanne (1827–1886) was a French artist known especially for etching and charcoal drawing, or fusain. Public identity records describe him as an etcher, while biographical references also associate him with painting, engraving, and illustration. These overlapping practices help explain why works attributed to Lalanne can appear in several collecting categories rather than under a single medium. Collectors are most likely to encounter graphic works—particularly etchings—and works on paper, although paintings and illustrated material may also bear his name. Lalanne has stable public identity records in Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and collection indexes maintained by institutions including MoMA, the British Museum, and the National Gallery of Art. Those records help distinguish him from similarly named artists and provide a foundation for matching auction lots, collection entries, and appraisal research to the correct historical person.

Common works and media

Works associated with Maxime Lalanne most commonly include etchings and charcoal drawings. Biographical sources also identify him as a painter, engraver, and illustrator, so paintings and illustrated works may appear in auction or appraisal contexts. The collected evidence does not establish preferred subjects, named series, edition sizes, or a reliable hierarchy among these work types.

Market and appraisal context

A Lalanne appraisal should begin by identifying the medium and confirming that the attribution corresponds to the French artist who lived from 1827 to 1886. Etchings, charcoal drawings, paintings, and illustrated material should not be treated as interchangeable market categories. Relevant public auction records can then be compared by work type, dimensions, sale date, attribution language, and other documented lot characteristics. Condition, provenance, signatures, print state, and edition information may matter in an individual appraisal, but the collected sources do not establish artist-specific rules for those factors. The available source pack also lacks a detailed major-auction-house market study, so it supports identity and category matching more strongly than price conclusions or market-trend claims.
