Jean-Jacques de Boissieu
was an 18th century French painter and
etcher. He studied at the Ecole Gratuite de Dessin in
Lyon, but was primarily a self-taught artist. From
1758-1764, Boissieu created most of his prints, and
shortly thereafter traveled to Italy with the Duc de la
Rochefoucauld. He returned from Italy with a vast
collection of landscape drawings. |

Boissieu also was a
teacher and received a number of commissions in his
lifetime, most notably for the Diderot Encyclopedie. He
was highly sought-after during his lifetime as an
engraver, and his prints are still coveted by collectors
today. |
