1661-1743 Francois Desportes Locations French painter. He is best known for his hunting scenes and paintings of animals. Desportes, who began as a portrait painter, was among the first to paint landscapes from nature; for that practice he was held to be eccentric. His works are in the tradition of careful realism of Flemish still-life paintings. The Louvre and the Wallace Collection, London, have examples of his work.   Related Paintings of Francois Desportes :. | Still Life with Dead Hare and Fruit | Portrait of the Artist in Hunting Dress | Dog Guarding Game Near a Rosebush (mk05) | Self-Portrait as a Huntsman | A Cat Attacking Dead Game |
