Claude-Guy Hallé

Claude-Guy Hallé (French pronunciation: [klod ɡi ale]; 14 January 1652, Paris – 5 November 1736, Paris) was a French painter, draughtsman, and illustrator.

In 1675, he won the Prix de Rome with Adam's Transgression.

[3] Following the death of directeur Louis de Boullogne on 28 November 1733, the painter Hyacinthe Rigaud proposed that the four rectors of the Académie, Hallé, Nicolas de Largillière, Guillaume Coustou, and himself, rotate the post.

[4][5] This oligarchy would persist until the election of Coustou as sole director on 5 February 1735.
