About

Why this artist matters now

Nicolas Pérignon was an 18th-century French painter, draughtsman, and engraver who worked across portraits, rustic scenes, landscapes, and seascapes. Active in Paris, he developed facility with both the immediacy of drawing and the technical precision of engraving, moving fluidly between these mediums. His range across figurative and topographical subjects reflects the versatility expected of painters of his generation, positioning him within the broader landscape of French academic practice.
