Notes:

Jean-Michel Moreau was the son of a wig-maker. He was called “le Jeune” because his elder brother was also an artist. In 1758, at the age of eighteen, Moreau le Jeune entered the studio of Le Bas, turning his earlier interest from painting to printmaking. Eventually he was to execute over 1600 prints before developing an interest in illustrating. In the period directly following the French Revolution, Moreau le Jeune executed many drawings used to illustrate texts by Molière, Racine and other playwrights.

Moreau le Jeune’s The Bride’s Wedding Night after Baudouin is one of the artist’s most accomplished engraving-etchings.
