'''Paul Victor Mathey''' (14 November 1844 – 24 November 1929) was a French painter and [[Engraving|engraver]].<ref>[http://bit.ly/2GarLmj Paul Mathey (1844 - 1929)] on brierhillgallery.com</ref>
== Biography ==
Born in Paris, the son of a [[Painting conservation|restorer]], Mathey learned his art at the [[École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts]] of Paris in painters [[Léon Cogniet]]'s, [[Isidore Pils]]'s and [[Alexis-Joseph Mazerolle]]'s workshops. He began to exhibit at the [[Salon (Paris)|Salon de Paris]] in 1868, and became a valued and recognized [[Portrait painting|portrait painter]]. He has several times portrayed artists from his entourage in their studios.
Especially a portrait painter, Mathey did not, however, refrain from landscape, seascapes, lived scenes or decoration. In his forty-fifth year, at the time of the struggle between reproducers and originals, he had the idea of starting engraving. The Comité des Artistes français, of which he was no longer a member, contested the title of engravers to those who did not work on the work of others. They wanted to exclude them from the Salon, and at least from the rewards. Mathey opened [[Maxime Lalanne]]'s ''Traité de gravure à l'eau-forte'', took the technical information he needed, fetched a sketch from his notebooks and engraved it. It was a portrait of his father, whom he had drawn about ten years earlier.<ref>|title=Paul Mathey graveur|journal=L’Art et les artistes : revue mensuelle d’art ancien et moderne|volume=5|issue=29|date=1921-10|pages=271-5|url=https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k58625443/f298|accessdate = 30 January 2019}}.</ref>
His work has been crowned several times. He was presented with a 3rd class medal at the 1876 Salon, a 2nd class medal at the 1885 Salon, and a gold medal at the [[Exposition Universelle (1889)]]. Finally, he was decorated with the [[Legion of Honour]], 29 October 1889.<ref></ref>
Mathey died in the [[7th arrondissement of Paris]] at age 85.
