François Boitard was born in Toulouse in 1670 (or 1667 acording other sources). According to Pierre-Jean Mariette and the merchant and expert Charles Le Blanc (1817-1865) he was a pupil of the designer and engraver Raymond Lafage during the latter's last stay in Toulouse (1683).
He left for Rome around 1685-1690, there he produced a number of "obscene drawings", Le Blanc specifies that he also produced engravings, but we don't keep track of them.
Boitard moved to London around 1709, where he possibly worked as an agent for a collector, then he moved again to Amsterdam where he could have had his drawings printed in engravings. In London, Arnold Houbraken , who names him "Bauttard", testifies to having seen him draw in taverns, impressing the public by composing in two hours maritime scenes on a sheet of paper.
The dates and places of his death there also vary according to the sources: 1715 or 1719, either in Amsterdam or in The Hague .
He had a son, Louis-Philippe Boitard , active between 1733 and 1770 between London and Paris, who mainly produced engravings . Her son and Joseph Aved remain his main pupils.

- Study for a Frontispiece, a baroque drawing by Giovanni Antonio PellegriniBy Giovanni Antonio PellegriniLocated in PARIS, FRThis masterly frontispiece study, executed with a very sure hand, testifies to the survival of the great Baroque taste in 18th century Venice. It could be one of the very last works by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini: the few lines that cross the papal arms evoke those of Benedict XIV, who became pope in 1740, one year before the artist's death. 1. Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini and the European influence of Venetian history painting in the 18th century Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini was born in Venice in 1675 and trained in the studio of the Milanese painter Paolo Pagani (1655 - 1716). Pagani, who had been living in Venice since 1667, took him to Moravia and Vienna from 1690 to 1696. After a stay in Rome from 1699 to 1701, Pellegrini married Angiola Carriera in 1704, the sister of the great pastelist Rosalba Carriera. From 1708 onwards, Pellegrini left Venice and began an extensive tour of Europe: he worked in England between 1708 and 1713, where he met great success, particularly at Kimbolton Castle and Castle Howard. He then worked in Germany and the Netherlands, then in Bohemia and Austria, before returning briefly to England in 1719. In 1720 he was in Paris where he decorated the ceilings of the Royal Bank for John Law...Category
