Biographie

Laurent Fauchier was born in Aix-en-Provence, rue de la Sabaterie (today called rue Laurent Fauchier). He was the son of Balthazar Fauchier and Anne Marguerite Chanvre who were married in 1638.[1]

He became a pupil of Bernadin Mimault for three years, where he probably met his later teacher Pierre Mignard and his later pupil Pierre Puget.[2] In 1664 he became a portrait painter with his own workshop and was awarded a commission by the city council for 66 portraits which he did not finish.
