(3) Louis de Boullogne

(b Paris, 19 Nov 1654; d Paris, 21 Nov 1733). Brother of (2) Bon Boullogne. Like his brothers and sisters, he was taught by his father. In 1673 he won the Prix de Rome with Crossing the Rhine, which enabled him to travel to the Académie de France in Rome, apparently when his brother Bon returned from there. He, too, made copies of paintings for reproduction as tapestries by the Gobelins. In Rome he proved a diligent pupil, winning a prize at the Accademia di San Luca for a drawing of Alexander Cutting the Gordian Knot (Rome, Accad. N. S Luca).

Part of the Boullogne family
