Thomas de Leu or Leeuw or Le Leup or Deleu (1560–1612)〔Exact years of birth and death are from Benezit 2006; Grivel 1996b gives "(c. 1555–c. 1612)".〕 was a French engraver, publisher, and print dealer of Flemish origin. ==Life== He was the son of a print dealer in Oudenaarde and began his career in Antwerp, where he worked for Jean Ditmar (c. 1538 – 1603)〔Grivel 1996b.〕 and was influenced by the Wierix.〔Benezit 2006.〕 Sometime after 1576 and before 1580 he went to Paris〔Benezit 2006 says "after 1576"; Grivel 1996b, "before 1580."〕 to work for the painter and engraver Jean Rabel (1540/50–1603).〔 In 1583 he married Marie Caron, daughter of Antoine Caron,〔 one of the principal painters of the Second School of Fontainebleau. Although it has been stated that he was thereby the brother-in-law of the engraver Léonard Gaultier, this is probably not the case.〔Grivel 1996a.〕 In the Wars of Religion he managed to switch from the side of the Catholic League to that of Henry IV. As a result he became enormously wealthy, running a highly productive workshop and publishing numerous prints by other artists. His apprentices included Jacques Honnervogt (''fl'' 1608–1635) and Melchior Tavernier (c. 1564 – 1641).〔 In 1605 he married Charlotte Bothereau.〔 His daughter Charlotte married Claude Vignon.〔Bassani 1996.〕 He died in Paris.〔 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「Thomas de Leu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
