Antoine Charles Horace Vernet, better known as Charles Vernet, was a French painter, the youngest child of Claude Joseph Vernet and the father of Horace Vernet.

Debucourt was born in Paris in 1755, and became a pupil of Joseph-Marie Vien. He executed a few plates in mezzotint, such as the Heureuse famille, the Benediction de la mariée, and the Cruche cassée, after his own designs. Most of his work was, however, in aquatint. He became the leading maker of multi-plate colour prints, combining washes of aquatint with line-engraving. He used a number of different techniques, but most involved three colour plates, and a fourth key plate, outlining the design in black.
