Charles Jean Baptiste Claude Lorin was a French glass painter and manufacturer. He was born on October 16, 1866 in Chartres, the capital of the Eure-et-Loir department in France. He died in the same city on April 23, 1940.

Life[]

Charles Lorin was the son of Nicolas Lorin (1833 – 1882) and Marie Françoise Dian (1840–1928). His father founded the Maison Lorin in Chartres in 1863.[1]

Charles married Étiennette Jeanne Piébourg (1873–?) on January 18, 1898. Étiennette was the daughter of Alfred Étienne Piébourg, who was the architect of the city of Chartres.

Charles' first signed achievements date back to 1899 and he continued producing for more than 40 years, until his death in 1940.

  • His first son, Charles Étienne François, born in November 1898, died at the age of 18 during World War I at a battlefield in Belgium. Charles Lorin took part in decorating war memorials, such as the stained glass windows of the Brezolles and Le Puiset churches.
  • In 1900, Charles had a second son, François Lorin (1900–1972), who continued his father's work after World War II.
