JEAN AUDRAN

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 899 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JEAN AUDRAN ,
nephew
  of Gerard, was
born
  at Lyons in 1667. After having received instructions from his father, he went to Paris to perfect himself in the art of engraving under his uncle, next to whom he was the most distinguished member of his family. At the age of twenty his genius began to display itself in a surprising manner; and his subsequent success was such, that
in 1707 he obtained the
title
  of engraver to the king, Louis XIV., who allowed him a pension, with apartments in the Gobelins; and the following year he was made a member of the Royal
Academy
 . He was eighty years of age before he quitted the graver, and nearly ninety when he died. The best prints of this artist are those which appear not so pleasing to the eye at first sight. In these the
etching
  constitutes a
great
 
part
 ; and he has finished them in a bold, rough
style
 . The "
Rape
  of the Sabines," after Poussin, is considered his masterpiece.
