Pierre David Morier
Born in 1705.
Died in 1770.
Pierre David Morier was an artist whose work focused on portraiture, battle scenes and animal painting. From 1743 onwards, he worked in England, where he developed his style and technique. The details of his training and influences remain uncertain, but his career reflects a significant transition towards a British artistic context.
Morier is therefore an interesting figure to study in the context of the development of painting in the eighteenth century, although his precise impact on the artistic milieu of his time remains to be explored.
