About Guillaume Courtois

1628–1679County of Burgundy

At about age seven, painter's son Guillaume Courtois left France for Italy with his teenage brother. They followed the military campaigns that his brother drew, then studied in Bologna, Florence, and Siena, arriving in Rome by 1638. He was famed as a superb draftsman. His masterpiece in painting is considered to be the "Martyrdom of S. Andrea" (ca. 1670) over the high altar of S. Andrea al Quirinale in Rome. Comment on works: religious subjects, figures
