François Dieussart in Rome: two newly identified works
Résumé
François dieussart is celebrated for the large number of portrait heads he made of the princes of northern Europe between 1636 and 1661.1 However, the preceding period, in which he spent around fifteen years in Rome before moving to England, is much less well documented. As with many foreign artists in Italy, no securely attributed works from his Italian period have been discovered, and the Italian activities of this Walloon artist were known only through archival references.
