In 1741 he went to Paris, and in the following year entered the studio of [[Jacques-Philippe Le Bas|Le Bas]]. His talent and his sparkling wit gained him admission to the court, where he became painter and [[court painter|draftsman to the King]], and drawing-master to [[Madame de Pompadour]]. He afterwards fell into disgrace, and in 1777 retired to Brussels, where he died in poverty in 1778. His pictures are not without merit, but it is as a designer of illustrations and vignettes for books that he is best known. The most remarkable of these are the designs for the ''Fermiers généraux'' edition of the ''Contes'' of [[Jean de La Fontaine|La Fontaine]], published at Amsterdam in 1762; [[Ovid]]'s ''[[Metamorphoses]],'' 1767-71; the ''[[Henriade]]'' of [[Voltaire]], 1770; the ''Baisers'' of [[Claude Joseph Dorat|Dorat]], 1770; and the ''Vies des Peintres hollandais et flamands'' of [[Jean-Baptiste Descamps|Descamps]], published in 1751-63. He etched some few plates of the [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Virgin]], a ''St. [[Jerome]],'' ''St. Ely preaching,'' etc. There are pictures by him in the Museums of [[Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]], [[Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle d'Alençon|Alençon]], and [[Musée de Brou|Bourg]]. | ||
