Not on view
A patron of the arts and also a printmaker, Saint-Non made etchings based on drawings by many of France's leading artists, which he published in suites entitled, Griffonis (1755–78). About 1765, he developed aquatint as a tonal process he could employ to suggest ink washes in his prints after the drawings of his friends Fragonard and Hubert Robert.
