Biography
Biography
Darjou studied under his father and under Léon Cogniet, and exhibited first at the Salon of 1853, from which time onwards he almost every year sent pictures which were for the most part of genre subjects. The paintings of Darjou have, however, done less for his reputation than the numerous designs which he made for the Illustration and the Monde illustré. He was also the designer of the front cover of the 1867 book Les Reves et les Moyens de les Diriger: Observations Pratiques by Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys. He died in Paris in 1874.
The recorded working language is French. Work by Alfred Darjou is recorded in the collections of Philadelphia Museum of Art.
