Nicolas-Gabriel Dupuis

[1] He and his brother both received their training from Gaspard Duchange, who offered him his daughter in marriage.

He perfected his skills in England, where the Rococo style was in fashion and French artists were in great demand.

He took numerous students; notably Louis Michel Halbou and Charles-François-Adrien Macret, as well as the Spaniards, Manuel Salvador Carmona and Pasqual Pere Moles.

Among his notable illustrations are those created for the complete edition of the Fables of Jean de La Fontaine, published by Saillant et Desaint (1755-1759), after drawings by Jean-Baptiste Oudry and others.
