Jean Louis Delignon
Jean Louis Delignon was an artist and printmaker active over four decades in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, with documentation establishing his professional output between 1755 and 1795. His known artistic contribution consists of high-quality prints and engravings, fourteen examples of which are currently represented in significant museum holdings across the United States.
Delignon’s repertoire spanned classical narrative and genre subjects. Key documented works held in institutional collections include Perseus and Andromeda, Tempting Offers, and the repeating subject, Le cocu battu et content.
The importance of Jean Louis Delignon's body of work is underscored by its presence in numerous major institutions. These collections include the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Because many of these historical records are now in the public domain, they are often accessible for research and study as downloadable artwork.
