Waltner, CHARLES, etcher, was born at Paris, 24th March 1846, and studied painting under Gérôme, but, after working as a copperplate engraver, found his true vocation in etching. He became famous by etchings after Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, and Velazquez; amongst his best-known etchings are those of Millet's 'Angelus,' and Munkacsy's 'Christ before Pilate.'
