Joseph Wamps

His father was listed in the "Registre aux Bourgeois" and he received his first lessons in his hometown from Arnould de Vuez.

[1] Later, he studied porcelain painting at the local manufactory and went to Paris, where he worked in the studios of Pierre-Jacques Cazes.

After returning in 1720, he received numerous commissions from religious institutions and created decorations for the Governor's residence.

The loom-worker Guillaume Werniers produced a series of tapestries on the life of Christ, after drawings by Wamps.

Other major works include "The Dream of Saint Joseph" and "The Resurrection of Christ" at the Hospice Comtesse and "The Judgment of David" at the Palais des beaux-arts de Lille.
