This article appears in Volume V07, Page 330 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
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
  " (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
wood
 , his
wood
 -cuts for Jean le Clerc's Bible (1596) and other books being his best-known
work
 . He also wrote a Livre de perspective (156o), and a Livre de
portraiture
  (1571).
See Ambroise Firmin-Didot, Etude sur J.
Cousin
  (1872), and Recueil des teuvres choisies de J.
Cousin
  (1873).
