Sébastien Barras

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sébastien Barras, a painter and engraver, was born at Aix, in Provence, in 1653. He was a pupil of Boyer d'Aguilles, and studied for some time in Rome. He died at Aix in 1703. The first edition of the Boyer d'Aguilles Collection, published in 1709, contained twenty-seven plates in mezzotint, scraped by this master; they were replaced in the second edition by plates engraved by Coelemans. The former have become very scarce. He also engraved a portrait of Lazarus Maharkysus, a physician of Antwerp, after Van Dyck.
