Pierre Parrocel (1664–1739) was a French painter of the late-Baroque period.
Life
He was born in
Carlo Maratti in Rome, and in 1730 became a member of the Accademia di San Luca
there.
Works
His principal work, as a painter, was in the gallery of the Hôtel de Noailles at
St. Germain-en-Laye, where he represented the history of Tobit in thirteen pictures. He also painted a Coronation of the Virgin' in the church of St. Mary at Marseille. He also etched and engraved in a style analogous to that of A. Rivalz
; but he was not equally successful with the graver. Of the fourteen etchings left by him, The Triumph of Aphrodite is perhaps the most noteworthy.
