(1) Jean-Jacques Flipart
(b Paris, 15 Feb 1719; d Paris, 9 July 1782). Printmaker. He was taught first by his father and then by Laurent Cars, who lived in the same house. Although he was considered to be one of Cars’s more mediocre pupils, he nevertheless secured the patronage of Charles-Nicolas Cochin (ii), who in 1749 gave him two vignettes to engrave and, finding his work satisfactory, arranged for him to engrave the frontispiece drawn by René-Michel Slodtz for La Fête publique donnée par la Ville de Paris à l’occasion du mariage du Dauphin en 1747 (Pognon and Bruand, no. 2), published in 1751 under the editorship of Jean-François Blondel. This engraving and a Holy Family (PB 9) after Giulio Romano established his reputation, and in 1755 he was approved (agréé) by the Académie Royale, but never presented his morceau de réception. In the 1750s he chiefly engraved illustrations after Cochin, who remained his friend and later gave him important prints to engrave, including a Storm (1765; PB 136) after Joseph Vernet.
