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.
