He was born at Avignon and trained there with his father, Antoine, and with the history painter Philippe Sauvan. He spent the years 1734 to 1752 in Rome, where he studied classical landscapes in the tradition of Claude and Gaspard Dughet, as well as the dramatic paintings of Salvatar Rosa. In Rome he was influenced by the contemporary Roman topographical painter Giovalli Paolo Panini. He had many English clients and admirers in Rome, including Richard Wilson, whom He is thought to have encouraged as a landscape painter.
He became a member of the Academy on his return to France and in 1753 received the important royal commission for a series of large canvases representing the ports of France (1753-65).

Some of his Works:

Try to guess without looking it up, that is the idea. Hopefully, he'll come back with the answer. It's no fun if you look up the answer and guess.

Yes, we werent given rules to play do/this, but if you have hard copies of references or encyclopedia, that is alright? what about if u cant help it and searched online... and found the answer fast? Then just give a clue one at a time perhaps. Or that is too slow for some? Ah, bahala na kayo!

I think the idea was to see if anyone just knew the answer off the tops of their heads, like a quiz bowl. Of course, no one could tell if someone else looked up the answer. It would be on an honor system. I looked it up after I guessed, but was wrong. I couldn't find the answer. I'm crazy about art- but am not up on Baroque French landscape artists.

Nice paintings.

But I'm much more into Hudson School and pre-Raphaelites. :)

Guess this needs some clues. His first name is so common, and he had:
"an intellect and energy that resulted in over 400 publications and the riding of a quarter of a million miles to preach forty thousand sermons."
And a painting of him:

Who was she? This isnt so hard:
'a woman from the small farm town of Tuscumbia, Alabama who taught the world to respect people who are blind and deaf.'

She is Helen Keller,which is not that difficult of a question seeing you can look in to it,via the internet,for I have heard of Helen Keller,and her being blind and deaf,but I did not hear of where she was from,and the internet makes the unlearned quick at learning,so it is a question that does not necessarily generate knowledge that one has at that particular moment,if they can look in to it on the internet and know within a minute.
