Jean Daullé

Hyacinthe Rigaud painting his wife, after an autoportrait by Rigaud, 1742

Jean Daullé (18 May 1703 – 23 April 1763) was a French engraver.

Biography

Jean Daullé was born at Abbeville in 1703. He received his first lessons in engraving from Dom Robart, a monk of the priory of St. Peter at Abbeville, and afterwards went to Paris, where his fellow-citizen, Robert Hecquet, taught him what little he himself knew. His merit did not remain long unnoticed, and he was received into the Academy in 1742.^[1]

He was a friend of the portrait artist Donat Nonnotte, and engraved several of his pictures.^[2] He died in Paris in 1763. After his death some of his engravings were published by his widow as his 'OEuvre.'^[1]

Work

He engraved several portraits and plates of historical and other subjects, which are chiefly executed with the graver in a clear and firm style, which entitles him to rank with the ablest artists of his time. He marked his works J. D. The following are his principal plates:^[1]
