Charles-Nicolas Cochin (22 February 1715 – 29 April 1790) was a French engraver, designer, writer, and art critic. To distinguish him from his father of the same name, he is variously called Charles-Nicolas Cochin le Jeune (the Younger), Charles-Nicolas Cochin le fils (the son), or Charles-Nicolas Cochin II. ==Early life== Cochin was born in Paris, the son of Charles-Nicolas Cochin the Elder (1688–1754), under whom he studied engraving.〔(Charles-Nicolas Cochin the Younger ) at britannica.com (accessed 11 February 2008)〕 His mother was Louise-Magdeleine Horthemels (1686–1767), who herself was an important engraver in Paris for some fifty years.〔(Louise-Magdeleine Horthemels: Reproductive Engraver ) by Elizabeth Poulson in ''Woman's Art Journal'', vol. 6, no. 2 (Autumn, 1985 - Winter, 1986), pp. 20-23〕〔Heinecken, Karl-Heinrich von, ''Idée générale d'une collection complette d'estampes'' (Jean Paul Kraus, Leipzig & Vienna, 1771) p. 175〕 Beyond his artistic education, Cochin taught himself Latin, English, and Italian, and he read the work of the philosopher John Locke in the original.〔 As well as having natural talent and academic training, Cochin benefited from good connections in the world of art.〔(Charles-Nicolas Cochin, b. 1715 Paris, d. 1790 Paris, draftsman ), short biography at getty.edu (accessed 11 February 2008)〕 As well as both of his parents being engravers, his mother's two sisters, Marie-Nicole Horthemels (b. 1689, died after 1745) and Marie-Anne-Hyacinthe Horthemels (1682–1727), worked in the same field.〔 Marie-Nicole was married to the portrait artist Alexis Simon Belle,〔(Alexis Simon Belle ) biography at getty.edu (accessed 11 February 2008)〕 while Marie-Anne-Hyacinthe was the wife of Nicolas-Henri Tardieu.〔 Tardieu (1674–1749) was another eminent French engraver, a member of the Academy from 1720, who engraved the works of masters of the Renaissance and of his own time.〔(Les Forces Mouvantes ) at georgeglazer.com (accessed 11 February 2008)〕 The Horthemels family, originally from The Netherlands, were followers of the Dutch theologian Cornelis Jansen and had links with the Parisian abbey of Port-Royal des Champs, the centre of Jansenist thought in France.〔 In the 1730s, Cochin was a member of the ''Gobelins group'' which centred around Charles Parrocel.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles-Nicolas Cochin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
