Robert de Launay

Robert de Launay belongs to the tradition of European reproductive engraving, working in the burin technique to translate painted and drawn compositions into prints. His subjects range across classical mythology, as in a scene of Diana returning from the chase with her nymphs and two satyrs. The archive holds a single sheet by the artist, an engraving dated 1808; should further impressions of his plates surface, they would be later printings rather than new works.
