Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, Antique engraving, 18th century

Beautiful antique 1736th century engraving with walnut frame. It is an engraving by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu (1810-XNUMX), French engraver.
Born in Lyon, Boissieu studied at the École Gratuite de Dessin in his hometown, but was primarily self-taught. He began producing prints in the period 1758-64, then went to Italy following the ambassador Louis Alexandre, Duc de la Rochefoucauld d'Enville (1743-1792); during the trip he met Voltaire and returned with a collection of landscape drawings.
Jean-Jacques de Boissieu created some plates for Diderot-d'Alembert's Encyclopédie.
He continued to produce prints in Lyon, which earned him a reputation as the last representative of the older engraving tradition. Boissieu made many engravings of the Roman and Dutch countryside, as well as the Lyonnais countryside. He was also sought after as a reproductive engraver.
His students included Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste de Forbin and his nephew Claude Victor de Boissieu.
