French painter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
François-Léonard Dupont, called Dupont-Watteau (1756–1824) a French painter, miniaturist, and pastellist was born at Moorsel in 1756, and studied at Lille under Louis Watteau, whose daughter he married in 1782.[1] In 1798 he gave up art for mechanics, with the study of which he had begun life. He died at Lille in 1824. During the years devoted to art, Dupont painted in all mediums and all subjects — portraits, genre subjects, &c. In the Lille Museum is a picture by him, dated 1785, of the 'Attributes of the Fine Arts,' and in the Glasgow Corporation Galleries is 'The Vintage.'
