Jacques-Antoine-Marie Lemoine

Rouen 1751 – 1824 Paris

Jacques-Antoine-Marie Lemoine was a painter, draughtsman and miniaturist. Having begun his studies under Jean-Baptiste Descamps in his native Rouen in 1770, he was subsequently taught by Jean Jacques Lagrenée at the École des Beaux-arts in Paris and from about 1777 possibly by Maurice Quentin de Latour. At this time he also collaborated with the printmaker, Jean-François Janinet. In 1784 Lemoine married the miniaturist, Agathe-Françoise Bonvallet, after whose death in 1795 he returned to Rouen, where he was appointed professor of drawing at the École de Marine in 1799.
