Paul Rouffio, born in 1847 and deceased in 1911, belongs to that generation of French artists and craftsmen whose know‑how shaped the aesthetics of the late 19th century. Illustrator, decorator and connoisseur, he distinguished himself by a remarkable mastery of drawing and by an artistic sensibility that blended elegance, precision and attention to detail. His work, today sought after by collectors, testifies to a refined style, typical of the period when French decorative art shone across Europe.
Rouffio collaborated with several publishing houses and art studios, creating illustrations, graphic ornaments and decorative compositions intended for books, posters or works of art. His fine line, sense of composition and ability to combine rigour and visual poetry made him a creator valued in the artistic circles of his time.
