Jean-Jacques Flipart

Jean-Jacques Flipart was an artist active in the production of prints over a three-decade span, documented between 1734 and 1764. His known output consists primarily of graphic works represented in major North American institutions.

The artist’s expertise is demonstrated through a variety of subjects, spanning detailed genre scenes and dramatic action compositions. Eight prints are represented in current museum records, including studies of domestic life such as The Embroiderer and The Draftsman. His compositions also encompassed more exotic themes, exemplified by the repeated representation of the dynamic hunting scene, La Chasse au Tigre (The Tiger Chase).

The historical significance and museum-quality standard of Jean-Jacques Flipart prints are established by their inclusion in the holdings of institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. Due to the historical nature of the works, much of the artist's output falls into the public domain, making high-quality prints and related downloadable artwork available for scholarly research and appreciation.
