Philibert-Louis Debucourt

Philibert-Louis Debucourt (13 February 1755 – 22 September 1832) was a French painter and engraver.

He executed a few plates in mezzotint, such as the Heureuse famille, the Benediction de la mariée, and the Cruche cassée, after his own designs.

[1] He became the leading maker of multi-plate colour prints, combining washes of aquatint with line-engraving.

In the marriage contract Mouchy generously offered to provide a three-room apartment at the Louvre, where Debucourt lived for twelve and a half years.

[4] Some of his work was satirical, such as La promenade publique, an aquatint of 1792 showing a crowd in the gardens the Palais-Royal.
