Maurice Victor Achener (17 September 1881, Mulhouse, Alsace - 19 April 1963, Paris), French painter, engraver, and illustrator. He studied at the École supérieure des arts décoratifs in Strasbourg, and continued his studies in Munich at the Kunstakademie. He was a student of the painter Ludwig von Löfftz and of the engraver Peter Halm, who was a major influence in his pupil's turn toward etching, the work for which Achener is now best remembered. He settled in Paris in 1905 and, having become a naturalized French citizen in 1913, he fought on the side of France during World War I. (He fought under the name of his Geneva-born wife, Émilie Patry.) After a long and busy career as an engraver and illustrator, he died at the age of eighty-one, and was buried in the cimetière de Montmartre next to his wife.
"Le Chateau De Tourbillon à Sion" etching of Tourbillon Castle in Switzerland.
