Jean Dambrun

Jean Dambrun was an artist and printmaker active during the mid- to late 18th century, with a documented working period spanning the years 1741 to 1795. Their surviving body of work consists exclusively of prints.

The quality and preservation of Dambrun’s output are evidenced by the inclusion of their prints in prominent American institutions. Nine of their compositions are represented in museum collections, including works held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art. This enduring representation establishes the historical significance and museum-quality of their eighteenth-century works.

Specific prints attributed to Dambrun include the repeatedly documented compositions Le juge de mesle and La coquette fixée. These Jean Dambrun prints, created across nearly five decades, provide insight into the visual culture of the era. Many of these historical images are now accessible to researchers and the public, often available as high-quality prints through public domain archival resources.
