Nicolas de Poilly the Younger
French, 1675–1747
Nicolas de Poilly the Younger was a French Barbizon school artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Ireland. Nicolas de Poilly the Younger was born in Paris.
Nicolas de Poilly (June 28, 1675 – August 12, 1747), also called Nicolas de Poilly the Younger, Nicolas de Poilly jeune, or Nicolas II de Poilly (to distinguish him from his father, Nicolas de Poilly the Elder), was an academically trained French artist who won the Prix de Rome for painting in 1698. Despite an impressive start, he largely abandoned painting for drawing and became an engraver like his father, his uncle François de Poilly, and several others in the Poilly family.
