Peter Paul Bouché

Peter Paul Bouché is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Peter Paul Bouché worked in 17th-century prints, turning stories into finely carved lines. You’ll find his hand in the H Beard Print Collection and the later Paradise Lost set. Both show how engravings could carry whole scenes, angels, forests, and dramatic moments, onto paper one line at a time. Try tracing Bouché’s Paradise Lost next; its dense layers reward a closer look.
