Jean-Baptiste Corneille - French painter, etcher and engraver, born at Paris, 1649, died there, 1695. He was the youngest son of Michel Corneille of Orléans, born 1602, and brother of the younger Michel. He is known as "the younger Corneille." His devoted father was his teacher and painstakingly prepared the youth for his future successes as a historical painter. In 1664 he won the second prize and in 1668 the first prize of the Academy. He then went to study in Rome and, on his return in 1675, was received into the Royal Academy. . . . With Jacques Vouet he was employed on the decorations of the Tuileries. In 1692 he was appointed professor in the Academy. His style, like his brother's, was that of the school of the Desiderosi, but Jean was somewhat inferior to the younger Michel in composition and drawing. Many of the paintings of this excellent artist were engraved by contemporaries, a few by the great Mariette, and Jean himself engraved and etched plates after his own designs and finished pictures, and after the Carracci. His work with acid and the burin was spirited and exhibited his thorough mastery of technic.
