Étienne Baudet
Illustration — Chevaux du Soleil pansés par deux Tritons, or Sun Horses groomed by two Tritons, engraving of 1676 showing a sculpture by Gilles Guérin. Étienne Baudet, an eminent French engraver, was born in Vineuil, in the County of Blois, about 1636. He was a pupil of Sébastien Bourdon and Cornelis Bloemaert, and afterwards went to Rome, and appears to have adopted the manner of Cornelis Bloemaert in his earliest plates, which are executed entirely with the graver. He afterwards on his return to Paris altered his manner, and calling in the assistance of the point, he executed his best prints, which bear a strong resemblance to the manner of Jean Baptiste Poilly.
