Raymond Lafage
Raymond Lafage (1656, Lisle-sur-Tarn – 1684, near Toulouse) was a Baroque French artist, notable for his mythological prints and drawings. Biography According to the RKD he was a student of Jean-Pierre Rivalz, and in turn he taught that painter's son Antoine Rivalz, and the painter François Boitard. He travelled to Italy to make drawings after Italian masters, and is registered as having worked in Toulouse. He planned a second sojourn in Italy, but died en route in Lyon. According to Houbraken he was able to draw a crowd in a tavern with his ingenious method of drawing a complicated version of the ''Pharaoh entering the red sea'' in two hours, from what appeared to be random scratches on a piece of paper. His student Boitard could repeat this trick, but not quite as well. [Baidu] |
