Simon Francis Ravenet is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Simon Francis Ravenet made book illustrations and single-sheet prints in the early-to-mid 1700s, turning biblical scenes and emblem books into crisp engravings. Look at the Triumph of David for an upbeat crowd scene where the young king parades the giant’s head like a trophy. Or open the H Beard Print Collection to see dozens of small religious and allegorical prints lined up like a print shop sampler.
