"Quite different is Eugène Le Poitevin, the marine painter, who popularized a very different genre but whose impact was no less great. Proceeding directly from the Mephistopheles of Faust and the bizarre tendencies of the romantic school, the devils of this artist came to throw a picturesque note (...). The Devils, Little Devils, Devilish Oddities, More Devils; It was under these titles that the brown-covered albums of Le Poitevin spread everywhere that Bayalos soon imitated with his Devils and Michel Delaporte with his Diabolical-phantasmagorical Recreations. White devils and black devils followed by red devils and green devils. The devil slipped everywhere, committing a thousand incongruities (...) always having at his service an incalculable number of small imps running erroneously and through the leaves."
