Biography:
Alexandre-Francois Desportes began studying painting at the age of twelve at the insistence of his father. After living in Poland for a short while painting portraits of the Polish royal family, he returned to France to specialize in hunting scenes and still lifes. He soon became the preferred painter of King Louis XIV and King Louis XV of France who commissioned him to paint their hunts and favorite dogs. Desportes also decorated several royal houses and designed tapestries.
