COUSIN, JEAN (1500-1590) , French painter, was born at Soucy, near Sens, and began as a glass-painter, his windows in the Sainte Chapelle at Vincennes being considered the finest in France. As a painter of subject pictures he is ranked as the founder of the French school, as having first departed from the practice of portraits. His " Last Judgment," influenced by Parmigiano, is in the Louvre, and a " Descent from the

Cross

CROSS

" (1523) in the museum at Mainz is attributed to him. He was known also as a sculptor, and an engraver, both in etching and on
