Louis Nicolas van
Blarenberghe was an 18th century French
painter. Was born in Lille and learned how to paint from
his father, Jean-Guillaume. He soon became skilled as a
miniaturist, and started to get commissions from Madame
de Pompadour, the Duc de Choiseul and Czar Peter III,
among others. He was eventually appointed as the
battlefield painter and a war correspondent for Louis XV
and was given the duties of painting accurate battle
scenes. |

Many of Blarenberghe’s
paintings would eventually be hung in the kings private
apartments, and included gouache landscapes and battle
scenes. Today, many of his paintings are still housed
at Versailles, as well as other venues around the world.
