Biography:
Etienne Delaune first worked under King Henry II and produced many designs for the decorative art in France. In 1546, he worked as a goldsmith in Paris and became the king’s chief medallist in 1552. Despite being removed from the latter occupation, Delaune continued to design King Henry’s parade armor. In 1557, he took up engraving and began with twelve plates that illustrated the Old Testament. He also made many ornamental designs for jewelry and pictorial engravings. Because of his Protestant faith, Delaune left Paris in 1572 when the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre occurred and the French government ordered the murdering of the Huguenots. He settled in Strasbourg until he could return to Paris in 1580.
