About Charles Gilles Dutillieu

  • Biography

    Charles-Gilles Dutillieu was a Parisian painter known for his expertise in painting flowers of piers, over-doors, and ceilings. He trained under Couvin, a student of Belin de Fontenay, and was received at the Académie de Saint Luc in 1720. He specialized in arranging colors to suggest the volume of the object represented, taking into account the laws which govern perception.

    His art is deeply marked by that of Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer and Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay. He is known for his restricted floral repertoire, simplicity of the colored range, and a true science of perspective. He flourished in the late 17th century to early 18th century
