Théodore Valerio (1819–1879) was a French artist who was born in Herserange (Meurthe-et-Moselle), France.[1]
In addition to painting, he was a draughtsperson who produced engravings, woodcuts, and lithographs.[2] His subjects included genre scenes and military imagery and ethnographic illustrations.[1]
After studying with Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet, Valerio traveled throughout Europe, in particular Germany, Italy, the Balkans, Switzerland and Hungary where he lived for some time. Later he traveled to England where he lived in Brittany.[1]
He fought with the Ottoman Turkish Army during the Crimean War. Following the end of the war, he received a bronze medal for his work in the Paris Salon in 1859. His work was largely forgotten, but was rediscovered in 1980.[1]
