Isaac Moillon, 1614-1673

Isaac Moillon (1614‑1673) was a prominent French tapestry painter whose works were produced for the royal court and displayed in the Aubusson workshops. Nicole de Reyniès’ monograph offers a comprehensive study of Moillon’s artistic career, tracing his development from early commissions to his later, more mature pieces.

The volume also discusses the exhibition history of Moillon’s pieces, providing insight into how his legacy has been interpreted over time.
