Boissieu studied at the Ecole Gratuite de Dessin in his home town of Lyons , but was mostly self-taught. He began making prints in the period 1758–1764, then went to Italy with Louis-Alexandre, Duc De La Rochefoucauld {Link without Title} , returning with a collection of Landscape Drawings . He continued to produce prints, which earned him a reputation as the last representative of the older etching tradition. Boissieu made many etchings of the Roman and Dutch countryside, as well as the countryside around Lyons. He was also sought after as a reproductive engraver. His pupils included Auguste Forbin . |
