Jean Baptiste-Claude Chatelain

Chatelain, whose name is often spelled “Chatelin” under engravings, was employed by publisher John Boydell in London, and with François Vivares produced a number of landscape engravings after works by masters such as Rembrandt. To boost sales, Boydell often capitalized on Vivares’ popularity and credited him on plates engraved by Chatelain alone. The French engraver François Vivares (1709–1780) set up shop in London at the age of 18. François Vivares engraved some 160 plates, most of which were published by John Boydell.
