Early Years of Life
Antoine Qu'appelle was born in Paris on April 11,
1661. At the age of eleven, the boy had to leave
with his father for Italy, who was appointed
director of the French Academy of Arts in Rome.
Life in Rome had a great influence on Antoine - he
became acquainted with the works of outstanding
artists, and his favorite master was Correggio.
Antoine was taught painting by his father, who was
considered one of the best painters in France. On
his return from Rome, Antoine enrolled at the elite
Harcourt College, where he studied philosophy and
