Gaspard Duchange

Gaspard Duchange was a French engraver active in the early eighteenth century, whose prints translate grand history and mythological scenes into the linear language of the burin. His plates often combine etching with engraving, a method that lets him sketch freely before finishing with precise, incised detail. This archive holds three of his sheets, including The Battle of the Amazons and The Head of Cyrus brought to Queen Tomyris, with impressions dating up to 1713.
