Artist
Louis Desplaces
Louis Desplaces is a Baroque artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Louis Desplaces had a knack for turning big, dramatic stories into detailed prints you could hang over your sofa. He’d sketch a scene, then carve it into metal so it looked like a painting, right down to the folds in a Roman general’s cloak. His Triumph of Titus and Vespasian crackles with triumphant horses and fluttering victory wings, all squeezed into a single sheet. That’s the trick: one print holds a whole parade.
