Jean Daullé
Biography
Jean Daullé was born at Abbeville in 1703. He received his first lessons in engraving from Dom Robart, a monk of the priory of St. Peter at Abbeville, and afterwards went to Paris, where his fellow-citizen, Robert Hecquet, taught him what little he himself knew. His merit did not remain long unnoticed, and he was received into the Academy in 1742.[1]
He was a friend of the portrait artist Donat Nonnotte, and engraved several of his pictures.[2] He died in Paris in 1763. After his death some of his engravings were published by his widow as his 'OEuvre.'[1]
Work
He engraved several portraits and plates of historical and other subjects, which are chiefly executed with the graver in a clear and firm style, which entitles him to rank with the ablest artists of his time. He marked his works J. D. The following are his principal plates:[1]
