About
Marie-Anne Rousselet was born in Paris, France on 6 December 1732 to medal engraver Alexis Étienne Rousselet.[1][2] All four of her siblings were also engravers.[1] She was related to engraver, Gilles Rousselet (1614–1686),[3] and the sculptor, Jean Rousselet (1656–1693), both of whom were members of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture.[2]
In 1757, she married engraver and cartographer, Pierre François Tardieu, as his second wife.[3][4][2] The couple worked together at times.[5] After her husband's death in 1771, she achieved recognition for her work and contributions. Marie-Anne made several engravings of historical and genre subjects, including Saint John the Baptist (1756) after Jean-Baptiste van Loo.[2]
She died in Paris on 1826.
Her work is in public collections including the Nationalmuseum of Stockholm,[6] Rijksmuseum,[7] among others.
