BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Oeuvres de Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, peintre du Roi.
Biography engraver: Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Le Prince (1734- 1781) was an important French etcher and painter. Le Prince first studied painting techniques in his native Metz. He then travelled to Paris around 1750 and became a leading student of the great painter, Fran?ois Boucher (1703-1770). Le Prince’s early paintings in both theme and style are comparable to his master’s rococo techniques. He was the half-brother of French author Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.
