François Collignon

Header: François Collignon
Also known as: François Collignon; primary name: Collignon, François; other name: Collignon, Louis François
Details: individual; printmaker; publisher/printer; French; Male
Life dates: c.1610-1687
Address: Rome, in San Tommaso in/nel Parione alla cantonata del vicolo della posta vecchia del Papa incontro al Toson d'oro (on broadside of 1648 at Windsor)
Biography: Engraver and publisher. Apprenticed to Callot in 1626 for four years (see Marot in GBA 85 1975, p.24), in 1631 in Augsburg and in 1634 in Rome. Returned to Paris by 1636, where worked with Israel Henriet on Callot estate, but also for other publishers; della Bella godfather of his son Etienne baptised in Paris in 1643. Settled in Rome with his French wife in 1646/7, where seems to have worked less as a printmaker, but became major figure as publisher. His early work in Rome was published jointly with Orazio Marinaro. After his death, business bought by Westerhout for 4.200 scudi. NB older sources call him for some reason Jean Baptiste with completely wrong dates; they have been superseded by Kuhnmunch's publication of his posthumous inventory.
Bibliography: IFF (142 nos) J.Kuhnmünch, 'Un marchand d'estampes à Rome au XVIIs', BSHAF 1978, pp.79-100 (for the inventory of his estate)
