Measures: 23.5" H x 18.5" W x 1" D framed; 14.75" H x 10.25" W Biography Philibert-Louis Debucourt, (13 February 1755 – 22 September 1832) was a French painter and engraver. Debucourt, was born in Paris in 1755, and became a pupil of Vien. He executed a few plates in mezzotint, such as the Heureuse famille, the Benediction de la mariée, and the Cruche cassée, after his own designs. Most of his work was, however, in aquatint.[1] He became the leading maker of multi-plate colour prints, combining washes of aquatint with line-engraving.[2] He used a number of different techniques, but most involved three color plates, and a fourth key plate, outlining the design in black.[3] Debucourt's father-in-law was the sculptor Louis-Philippe Mouchy. In the marriage contract Mouchy generously offered to provide a three-room apartment at the Louvre, where Debucourt lived for twelve and a half years. The address of this apartment is often given on his prints.[4] Some of his work was satirical, such as La promenade publique, an aquatint of 1792 showing a crowd in the gardens the Palais-Royal.[2] As well as work from his own designs, he made aquatints after Carle Vernet, including the Horse Frightened by a Lion, the Horse Frightened by Lightning and the Strayed Huntsman.[1] Debucourt was assisted for some years by his pupil and nephew, Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet. He died at Belleville in 1832.[1]
