Georges Lallemand

[1] Nothing is known of his artistic education, but he is often assumed to have been a pupil of Jacques Bellange, whose work seems to have had a significant impact on him.

[1] Few of his paintings have been traced, much of his work having been dispersed when church property was seized during the French Revolution.

His earliest known work, The Mayor and Aldermen of Paris (Musée Carnevalet) dates from 1611.

[1]During the last few years of his life he received commissions for altarpieces and tapestries for the cathedral of Notre Dame, and for six large paintings for the Parisian church of Saint Geneviève-du-Mont.

[1] His work is mostly known from a series of chiaoscuro woodcuts made by Ludolph Büsinck in the 1620s after his smaller religious and genre compositions.
