Jean Boulanger, a French line-engraver, cousin to the painter of the same name, was born at Amiens in 1607. He seems to have attached himself at first to an imitation of the style of François de Poilly, but he afterwards took up a mode of engraving which had before been practised by his contemporary, Jean Morin, but which he greatly improved, of finishing the flesh and naked parts of his figures with dots, instead of strokes, or with a mixture of both, which gave a very soft and mellow effect; but as he finished the draperies and backgrounds with rather a harsh use of the graver, there was a want of union in the effect of his plates. Notwithstanding this defect, his prints have considerable merit, and are justly held in estimation. He died in Paris about 1680. The following are some of his principal plates: ==Portraits== *''Maria Tberesa of Austria, Queen of France''; after Frère Luc. *''Pope Urban VIII''; J. Boulanger inv. et fec. *''Charles II, King of England''. *''Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden''. *''Leopold, King of the Romans''. *''Henry of Castile, Abbot of St. Martin''. *''J.
