You can find biographical and professional information HERE, as well as portfolios with a sampling of his long career achievements. More information in this page of the Telegraph by Tamsin Blanchard telling about his extraordinary life.
A brief gallery of this extraordinary artist's many talents:

AND WHEN EVENING COMES, I THINK...

Amaury Duval - La Naissance de Venus

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND SEVEN VIRTUES: GREED (AVARITIA)

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND SEVEN VIRTUES: SLOTH (ACEDIA)

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND SEVEN VIRTUES: PRIDE (SUPERBIA)

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS AND SEVEN VIRTUES: GLUTTONY (GULA)

All definitions obviously depend on one's opinions and beliefs.

What is a sin for someone appears quite often to be a virtue to another.

As a happy atheist, I can say that what I see in this picture is not a sin, quite the contrary :-)

HANDLING

With care...up to a point.

On the other hand, the well-known Henry, le Chat Noir (https://twitter.com/HenriLeChatNoir), tweeted as follows: "I was interested to hear about "Cat Heaven Island," until I found out there are still humans there".
I can't say I disagree with him :-)

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK : BENNY HORNE

Gone the stern faces usually worn by models.
Gone the scowls and dark expressions.
Benny Horne brings softness, joy and lightness;
a sensual sweetness blending in wonderfully-toned colours.
