Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Bréville  was a French artist and illustrator.  His father opposed his entry to thé  École des beaux-arts  after graduating from the  Collège Stanislas . He therefore joined the French army, but returned to Paris in 1882. In the intervening period, he maintained a keen taste for military, patriotic and nationalistic subjects. He finally joined the École des beaux-arts and exhibited at the 1886 'Salon des artistes français', receiving a mixed reception. He therefore began a career as an illustrator, contributing caricatures to  La Caricature  and to  La Lune .

However, he is best known for his illustrations for children's books, most frequently for texts by  Georges Montorgueil . His major colour compositions contributed to the cult of 'heroes of the nation' such as  Napoleon I  and  Joachim Murat . Several of his illustrations appear in La Vieille Garde impériale (The Old  Imperial Guard ), published in 1932 by  Alfred Mame  and fils de Tours. His eye for detail can be seen in L'Épopée du costume militaire français - even in works intended for children, he tried to reproduce uniforms with extreme precision.

His best known works are Murat, Le Grand Napoléon des petits enfants, Jouons à l'histoire, Louis XI, Napoléon, Bonaparte and Les Gourmandises de Charlotte. He also illustrated the life of  George Washington  and was well known in the USA. He was a Sociétaire of the 'humoristes' and exhibited with the  Incoherents . His studio has been reconstructed at the  musée de Metz .
