Philibert-Louis Debucourt
French painter
Philibert-Louis Debucourt (13 February 1755 – 22 September 1832) was a French painter and engraver.
Life
Debucourt was born in Paris in 1755, and became a pupil of Joseph-Marie 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.
'Monseigneur Le Duc D'Orleans'.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 colour 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.
