Dupuis" CRE MASSON, Antoine; (French; 1636-1700) DES MIGNARD, Pierre; (French; 1612-1695) Pierre Mignard met Antoine Masson when he was working for a armourer. Impressed by his talent, he advised him to work on his drawing, which Masson did, to become a successful engraver.
Pierre Dupuis is well known for his extremely simple flower compositions. A friend of P. Mignard and A. Masson, he was accepted in the Academy in 1664. This portrait, engraved the same year, celebrate his achievement. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : MAN : PIERRE DUPUIS : PAINTER : XVIITH CENTURY : ACADEMY : FUR HAT : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
