Artist
François de Poilly
François de Poilly is a Baroque artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
François de Poilly made intricate religious prints and engravings in 17th-century France. He turned stories from the Bible and classical mythology into finely etched images, like his print *St. Jerome* showing the scholar with a lion and a skull, or *LA SAINTE VIERGE*, a quiet portrait of the Virgin Mary. These works belong to the same era as Rembrandt’s etchings—same time, same tools, same quiet drama. Want to see how light and shadow played across a saint’s face? Tap into *St. Jerome*.
