Philippe Lallemand

Detail of Lallemand's portrait of Charles Perrault (1672)

Philippe Lallemand (or Lallemant or Lalemen; 1636 – 22 March 1716) was a French portrait painter of the lesser rank, born at Reims.[1] He was influenced by Robert de Nanteuil (1623–1678). The 19th-century confusion with Georges Lallemand of Nancy, a teacher of Nicolas Poussin, Philippe de Champaigne and Laurent de La Hyre, has long been cleared up.[2]

His morceaux de reception for the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1672[3] were his portraits of the author Charles Perrault and of the financier Gédéon Berbier du Metz, president of the Chambre des Comptes.

Lallemand died in Paris in 1716.

A monograph was Max. Sutaine, Philippe Lallemant, peintre de Reims XVIIe siècle (Paris: Regnier) 1856.
