Jean-Baptiste Pillement 24 May 1728 - 26 April 1808 Was A Painter And Designer Known For His Exquisite And Delicate Landscapes But Whose Importance Lies Primarily In The Engravings Done After His Drawings And Their Influence In Spreading The Rococo Style And Particularly The Taste For Chinoiserie Throughout Europe.
