Pierre AVELINE "il vecchio" (Pargi 1656 circa - 1722)

He was also a print-publisher and print-seller. He probably trained with Adam Pérelle and, like him, specialized in topographical representations. He engraved in suites many views of Paris and of provincial, European and African cities, mixing etching and burin work in a style that was often rather unpolished. In 1685 he obtained a royal licence for ten years, authorizing him to reproduce ‘le profil des maisons royales’; he then published views of Versailles (Weigert, nos 198–293). He also engraved and published some fashionable images, such as Child of Good Family Walking with his Governess (W 388). Among the 412 items that comprise his oeuvre, there are only two portraits and two prints of historical subjects. Also attributed to him are some engravings of designs for theatre and ballet scenery after Giacomo Torelli, Niccolò Enea Bartolini and C. Carpoli; they are signed Aveline fecit.
