Jean Baptiste Descamps (1706-1791), French painter and author, headed a drawing school in Rouen. He´s more famous for his writing than for his art. His biographical work La vie des peintres flamands, allemands et hollandais I-IV (1753-63) was for some time considered the standard text on the subject, but has since been outdated.
Provenance: Sten Ringselle (1949-2017), Swedish antiquarian bookdealer who in 1992 opened his shop Antiquaria in Gothenburg.
