Self-portrait

Robert Gardelle (Geneva, 6 April 1682 - Geneva, 7 March 1766) was an artist, engraver and etcher born in Geneva, then in the Republic of Geneva. He studied under Largillière in Paris, where he distinguished himself as a portrait painter, producing also etchings of portraits and of views of Geneva. Gardelle is known for both the quantity of portraits he produced and the speed with which he produced them; Cambridge University Library noted during a 1978 exhibition that Gardelle was prolific and "often painted portraits in two or three days."

References

  1. In the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland he is described as having been born in Geneva, but being from Lyon, thus French. There is no indication there that he became a citizen of the Republic of Geneva, and a fortiori that he ever became Swiss. In some recent databases such as ULAN though, he is sometimes referred to as being Swiss.
