Charles Dauphin

Charles Claude Dauphin or Dofin, called in Italian Delfino (1615/1620 – 1677), a French painter of historical subjects and portraits, was the son of Olivier Dauphin[citation needed].

By about 1640, he had joined in Paris the studio of Simon Vouet.

[1] Dauphin went to Turin about the year 1652, and worked there for the Prince of Carignano.

In the church of San Carlo is an altar-piece by him, described by Lanzi as a most ludicrous composition.
