Le Bourguignon is an original artwork realized by François Perrier in 1630. Monogramed on the lower right corner. Etching on paper. Good conditions except for some dark spots and some foxings on the surface. Ancient and precious etching realized in the first half of the XVII century. The artwork represents a procession of man and horses. On the lower margin of the artwork, there is a long inscription with the description of the scene. The artwork was realized by the French artist François Perrier (Pontalier, 1590 - Paris, 1650), a French painter and engraver. Between 1620 and 1625, he moved to Rome, where he studied the Old Masters of the Italian Renaissance. His most important influence was the work of Giovanni Lanfranco, one of the most important artists of the Baroque Roman School. He moved to Paris. In 1630, he worked with Simon Vouet and, from 1632 to 1634, his pupils were Charles Le Brune and Isaac Fuller.
