pieces have been engraved by different artifts. D'Argen- 
ville, Vies des Peinlres. 
A very inferior character of this artifl has been lately 
given by M. Lenoir, who fpeaks in the following con¬ 
temptuous terms of the whole French fchool of the feven- 
teenth century: “Who are the painters of the celebrated 
age of Louis XIV. that we can name in comparifon with 
Euftace Lefueur and Nicolas Pouffin? Shall we quote 
Peter Mignard, or Bon-Boulogne, whole infignificant 
compofitions fpeak not to the foul ? Shall we admit Coy- 
pel, whofe monotonous pictures exhibit only aliened pe¬ 
dantry, and tame execution? Shall we fpeak of John 
jouvenet and Charles De la Foff'e ? The confequence 
which we have given to thefe painters by placing them 
near Titian, Paul Veronefe, and Rubens, demands from 
us a word or two on their productions. If I now ex¬ 
amine the talent of Jouvenet in relation to defign, I per¬ 
ceive in him no ftudy of nature, no correftnefs in the 
naked figures, no grandeur in the flow of drapery; if, 
moreover, I enter into details on his pictures as thole of 
a colourift, I fearch in vain for the lkilful and rich demi- 
tints of Titian, who had fo much the art of managing 
them, that he foftened oft’ his outline in a manner that ri¬ 
valled nature. I perceive not the brilliant effects of light 
difplayed by Paul Veronefe, whofe pencil produces illu¬ 
sion, without being forced in its colours, and who knew 
how to employ art to conceal art. I do not moreover 
perceive in Jouvenet the ftrong and yigoroully-exprefl'ed 
colouring of Rubens.” Mufee des Monuniens Franfais ,
