Artist biography:
Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus was an important French antiquarian, collector, writer and printmaker of the 18th century. A member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, Caylus produced numerous etchings after earlier and contemporary artists and played an influential role in the study and preservation of European art.
Claude Gillot was a highly significant French painter, draughtsman and designer whose theatrical and satirical compositions helped establish the emerging Rococo style. He was also an important teacher and influence upon Antoine Watteau.
