Henri
Gascars is thought to have been the son of Pierre Gascars, an obscure
Parisian painter and sculptor. He traveled to Rome in 1659 and returned
to Paris in 1667, but was probably in Amsterdam later the same year,
working on the portrait of the diarist Nicolas Delafond (Hermitage, St
Petersburg).
In 1672, Gascars’ morceau de reception, a portrait
of Louis de Bourbon, the Grand Dauphin, was rejected (showing 500 of 2071 characters). |
