Cochin, C.N.
Cochin, C.N. is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
French printmaker active in the 18th century. Specialized in engraved illustrations, often collaborating with publishers to reproduce book frontispieces and maps. His linework translates fine detail into ink, a skill prized by Parisian ateliers. One of his prints appears in the H Beard Collection. After 1750, his plates show a lighter touch, reflecting the shift from heavy baroque ornament to the clearer shapes of early Neoclassicism. See how his needle carved the folds of a silk gown in the print titled Satyr and Shepherdess.
