Anne Allen, Jean Pillement, and the Development of à la poupée Printing in France

View through CrossRef
Abstract The French artist Jean-Baptiste Pillement (1728-1808) is mainly remembered today for his prolific output of prints ‘in Chinese style’. Between 1796 and 1798 Pillement and his second wife Anne Allen (1749/50 – after 1808) produced nine Cahiers of in total 45 prints, all carefully printed à la poupée in bright colours and freely exploring ‘Chinese’ motives and ‘fantastic’ flowers. A unique and extensive collection of prints and drawings by Pillement in the library of the Institut Nationale d’Histoire de l’Art (collections Jacques Doucet) in Paris, sheds more light on the genesis of these unique series and the artist’s experiments with colour printing. Apart from a nearly complete set of the Cahiers, the INHA collection also contains several previously unknown drawings for the Cahiers de fleurs idéales, which are here tentatively attributed to Pillement.
