Joseph Dufour (1754-1847), the painter of panoramic wall paper, is now little known to the general public, although he lives on in this Salle named after him in his birthplace in Tramayes (which he left at the age of four). A street bears his name in Mâcon (where he lived for a time), and the Musée des Ursulines has this: Jean-Gabriel Charvet's Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique, a twenty-section masterpiece published by Dufour.
