The personification of self-discovery by Jean-Charles François, 1760
Jean-Charles François (4 May 1717 – 22 March 1769) was a French engraver.
François was born in Nancy. He was among the pioneers of the so-called "manière de crayon" ("crayon manner") of printmaking, which simulated the appearance of crayon and chalk drawings.[1] He was pensioned by King Louis XV of France, who employed him extensively. His most noted works represent Louis XV, Marie Leszczyńska, Pierre Bayle, Erasmus, John Locke, and Nicolas Malebranche.[1]
He died in 1769 in Paris, aged 51.[1]
