Guillaume-Désiré-Joseph Descamps, a French painter and engraver, was born at Lille. He was a pupil of François-André Vincent, but, obtaining the "prix de Rome," he improved himself by travelling in Italy, and became court-painter of Murat in Naples. He died in Paris in 1858.
As an engraver he also produced six plates from the 'Fable of Psyche.'
