Biography: Francois Perrier studied in Rome from 1635 to 1628 and again from 1635 to 1645. During his first visit, he was employed in Lanfranco’s studio and was influenced by his master’s work. He also admired the painting of Pietro da Cortona and the Carracci. Perrier’s work was significant in that it helped introduce Baroque style to France. However, a good deal of his output has since been destroyed. Perrier was influential on his pupil, Charles Le Brun.
