Ambroise Dubois

The first written evidence of his presence there is a document from 1595, referring to him as a "painter to the King".

By 1601, he was serving as Valet de Chambre for King Henry IV.

In 1602, he succeeded Toussaint Dubreuil (deceased) as court painter.

They were destroyed during the First Empire, but some sketches and preliminary paintings survived and were reassembled during the reign of King Louis Philippe.

Other works in the same building remained in their original forms, such as those depicting the story of "Tancred and Clorinda" from Jerusalem Delivered by Torquato Tasso.
