  • "What Modes Owed to Painting": Painters, Draftsmen and Publishers of Dames & Cavaliers Diversement Vêtus Under the Reign of Louis XIV.

    This study focuses on the inventors of the compositions of engravings called modes, produced in large numbers on the Rue Saint Jacques under the reign of Louis XIV. For the most part sold under the name of the publisher alone, they nevertheless conceal the work of a team, requiring engravers, but also draftsmen who often relied on the inventions of a painter, who did not necessarily have a stake in the business. This realization of preparatory drawings for the widely sold prints was apparently a non negligible source of income for several artists, revolving between the Academie de Saint Luc and the Academie Loyale de Peinture et de Sculpture, such as Jean Dieu de Saint-Jean, Robert Bonnart and Claude Simpol. The pages that have survived reveal a part of their activity, bearing witness to drawings made for a daily income that do have or do not have ties with their personal work as painters. They can sometimes lead to attributing new works to them.
