Jean-Baptiste de La Rose (1612-1687) was a French painter and draughtsman, specialising in decorating ships and producing paintings of ships and seascapes.[1] His son Pascal de La Rose was also a painter.

Life

He was born in Marseille, whither his Paris-born father had moved and married. Initially a soldier de La Rose was wounded in the siege of Casal in 1630.[2]

He was apprenticed to the painter

Jules Mazarin visited his studio in Marseille in 1660 and commissioned a major painting from him for Louis XIV.[4]

In 1663 he was put in charge of all painting work in the port of Toulon and given the title "maître peintre entretenu". He painted seascapes which became much in demand at the French court by figures such as

Tourville.[5] His paintings were also highly praised by Charles Le Brun and François de Troy and he was a major influence on Jean-Joseph Kapeller.[6] He died in Toulon.[7]
