Octave Tassaert sibling Paul Tassaert
Life
Octave Tassaert came from an originally Flemish family of artists who worked mainly in Antwerp, Paris and Prussia. He was the son of the engraver Jean-Joseph-François Tassaert (1765-c. 1835) and grandson of the Flemish sculptor Jean-Pierre-Antoine Tassaert, who had worked mainly in Paris and Berlin.  Octave's first artistic training came from his father and then his older brother Paul (?-1855), both of whom were print artists and art dealers. Together with his brother Paul, he first produced wood engravings.
