Jean-François de Troy
1679–1752
(bapt. Paris, 27 Jan. 1679; d Rome, 26 Jan. 1752). French painter and tapestry designer. His successful career was based initially on large historical and allegorical compositions (Time Unveiling Truth, 1733, NG, London), but he is now most highly regarded for his smaller and more spirited scenes of elegant social life.
