About the Item

Philippe Mercier (also spelled Philip Mercier; 1689 – 18 July 1760) born in Berlin, was an artist of French Huguenot descent from the German realm of Brandenburg-Prussia (later Kingdom of Prussia), usually defined to French school. Active in England for most of his working life, He was influenced by Watteau and later by Chardin. From perhaps about 1716 he was in London; by 1739 he was working chiefly in Yorkshire. He returned in 1751 to London, and died there. Mercier is considered one of the first practitioners of the Rococo style, and is credited with influencing a new generation of 18th-century English artists. Numerous portraits by him exist.
