Jean François de Troy (January 27, 1679, Paris – January 26, 1752, Rome) was a French Rococo painter and tapestry designer. He was one of a family of painters, being the son of the portrait painter François de Troy (1645–1730), under whom he first studied, and at whose expense he first went to Italy from 1699 to 1706, staying in Rome, but also visiting many north Italian cities.
The successful career of de Troy was based initially on large historical and allegorical compositions, (showing 500 of 1759 characters). |
