He was a pupil of Guillaume Vallet and then of Jean Audran.
[1] According to Joseph Strutt in his Biographical Dictionary of Engravers (1786), Duchange's style was similar to that of his teacher, Audran, but in general neater, with the use of etching not so predominant.
[2] Strutt did not think that Duchange's drawing was as good as Audran's, but concluded that his prints "though mannered, and often rather laboured, have much to recommend them to the connoisseur, especially such as are pleased with agreeable management of the graver."
[2] Duchange engraved a considerable number of plates.
They include: After Correggio: After Paolo Veronese: After Jouvenet: After Antoine Coypel: After Noël-Nicolas Coypel: After Desormeaux: After Rubens: These five last plates were engraved for the Luxembourg Gallery.
