Title:	Pierre Puget: Le Michel-Ange de la France
Engraver:	Jeaurat, Edme (Edmond) (Vermenton, 1688 - Paris, 1738)
Designer:	Jeaurat, Etienne (French, 1699 - 1789).
Date:	c. 1730
Medium:	Original Engraving
Note:	Edme Jeaurat: A distinguished early eighteenth century engraver, Edme Jeaurat was first apprenticed to Bernard Picart in Paris. He then went to Holland for several years to study the art of the Netherlandish masters. Jeaurat returned to Paris in 1715 and established his reputation with his fine engravings after the paintings held in the Crozat collection. These included large plates after Poussin, Veronese and Watteau.
	Around 1720 Edme Jeaurat began collaborating his talents with those of his younger brother, Etienne Jeaurat (French, 1699 - 1789). Etienne had distinguished himself as a major painter of portraits and religious scenes, which were then engraved by Edme and even published by the brothers at their rue St. Jacques gallery. Pierre Puget, le Michel-Ange de la France is typical of the fine collaborative work of the Jeaurat brothers.
	Collections of the engraved art of Edme Jeaurat will be found in the British Museum, London, and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
	Pierre Puget (Marseille, 1620 - 1694) was perhaps France's greatest sculptor of the seventeenth century. At the age of seventeen he began working in Italy for Pietro da Cortona on the ceilings of the Barberini and Pitti palaces. Early in his career, Pierre Puget was commissioned for paintings in churches in Aix-en-Provence and Toulon, but later he dedicated himself wholly to sculpture. His most esteemed works of art in this medium can be seen in Florence, Rome, Marseille, Toulon and Paris. His famous Milon of Crotona was initially sculpted for the palace at Versailles and is now in the collection of the Louvre.
