Portrait of Pierre Bourdon

Pierre Bourdon

Pierre Bourdon was an artist known for his graphic work, documented as being active around 1703. His verifiable output consists entirely of prints, establishing him as a practitioner of engraved design during the early 18th century.

Seven Pierre Bourdon prints are currently represented in institutional holdings. These documented works are known collectively from the series titled Livre second essais de Gravjre (Second book of Engraved Designs). Specific prints held in collections include 2 From " Livre second Cesais de Graubre " Second book of Engraved Design and 6 from " Livre second essais de gravjre " Second book of Engraved Designs. The holding institution for these documented works is the Cleveland Museum of Art, lending museum-quality credibility to the surviving high-quality prints.

The existing body of work confirms Bourdon's concentration on design manuals and print series. As historical material, these documents and designs are frequently made available as downloadable artwork, allowing researchers and collectors to study these early 18th-century Pierre Bourdon prints.
