Jean Jacques Flipart

Jean Jacques Flipart belongs to the French tradition of reproductive printmaking in the eighteenth century, working above all with etching and engraving to carry painted and drawn compositions into circulation. His subjects range from hunting scenes such as La Chasse au Tigre (The Tiger Chase) to quieter genre imagery like The Tamed Bird. The archive holds three sheets from 1769, made in etching and engraving, one of them additionally worked with drypoint. These impressions document his graphic manner within a single year of production.
