French school; genre and portrait painter, pupil in Lyons of Grandon, and in Paris of the Academy in 1755. His picture of the Father reading the Bible to his Children was exhibited and greatly admired in the same year, at the close of which he was taken to Italy by the Abbé Goujenot. After his return he exhibited at the Salons of 1757, 1759, and 1761, at which latter his Accordée du Village (Louvre) excited the greatest enthusiasm.
