Benoit Audran the Elder

Benoit Audran the Elder belongs to the French school of reproductive engraving, carrying the grand manner of the Baroque into the printed image through the burin. His subjects are typically history and allegory, rendered with the precise, linear discipline that defined the engraver's craft in his circle. This archive holds a single sheet by him, an engraving dated 1707, whose subject is drawn from the Recueil de la Galerie du Luxembourg.
