Jean Daullé

Jean Daullé (18 May 1703 – 23 April 1763) was a French engraver.

Jean Daullé was born at Abbeville in 1703. He received his first lessons in engraving from Dom Robart, a monk of the priory of St. Peter at Abbeville, and afterwards went to Paris, where his fellow-citizen, Robert Hecquet, taught him what little he himself knew. His merit did not remain long unnoticed, and he was received into the Academy in 1742.

He was a friend of the portrait artist Donat Nonnotte, and engraved several of his pictures. He died in Paris in 1763. After his death some of his engravings were published by his widow as his 'OEuvre.'

He engraved several portraits and plates of historical and other subjects, which are chiefly executed with the graver in a clear and firm style, which entitles him to rank with the ablest artists of his time. He marked his works J. D. The following are his principal plates:

A detailed account of this artist's works is contained in Delignière's 'Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre gravé de Jean Daullé d' Abbeville,' 1872, 8vo.
