Jean Morin (artist)
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French
engraver and publisher.[1]
He is mainly remembered as a printmaker, whose innovation in combining engraving with etching on the same plate became extremely common.
Life
Morin was born and died in
Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. Their son (and therefore nephew of Jean Morin) was the painter Nicolas de Plattemontagne who studied under Morin and Philippe de Champaigne.[2]
Van Plattenberg and Morin worked together on various publications such as a series of landscapes and marine scenes.[3]
Morin likely never married.[2]
Work
His graphic work consists of 118 plates, which are undated and the chronology of which is unknown. Six plates do not have his signature. The works include:
- 50 portraits
- 34 devotional subjects
- 20 landscapes
- 11 book illustrations
- 3 genre scenes.
Many of these works were made after paintings of leading artists of the time.[2]
