Édouard Bertin
François Édouard Bertin (1797–1871) was a French painter born in Paris, and the son of the renowned journalist Louis-François Bertin. Édouard studied under Girodet-Trioson and Bidauld. He represented the details and general character of a landscape with great skill, but was less successful in his colouring. He was inspector of the Beaux Arts, and from 1854, was the director of the "Journal des Débats". Bertin died in Paris in 1871.

He and Aline Desgoffe had one child, Joseph Flandrin (1857-1939), who became an architect and was the father of the painter Marthe Flandrin (1904-1987).]
