(1) Etienne Allegrain
(b Paris, 1644; d Paris, 2 April 1736). Painter and draughtsman. He was possibly the pupil of Henri Mauperché and in 1676 was admitted (agréé) by the Académie Royale, becoming a full member in 1677 on presentation of his painting The Flight into Egypt (untraced). In 1691 he completed part of a series of paintings of views of the château and park of Versailles still in situ at the Grand Trianon (Trianon de Marbre). Jean Cotelle II and Jean-Baptiste Martin I also contributed to this project. Among Allegrain’s pictures is the somewhat stiff and mannered La Salle de Conseil, with elegantly elongated figures in a formal garden.
