Picart, Bernard

^⚬1673/06/11 - ^†1733/05/08

Parisian painter/drawer and son of the engraver Stephanus Picart (1632 - 1721) who also trained him. At the age of sixteen he went to the Art Academy, after which he was apprenticed to other engravers. When he traveled to the north in 1696, presumably because of religious disputes, he received a prize at the academy of Antwerp. In 1708 he founded an engraver school in Amsterdam with which he had great success. In 1733 he died in Amsterdam.
