Birth placeTroyes, France
Death placeParis, France
BiographyEngraver, draughtsman and art theorist, part of a French family of artists. The engraver Nicolas Cochin (1610-after 1649) left Troyes for Paris in the 1640s; he made numerous small engravings, chiefly religious subjects and landscapes, including several for Jules, Cardinal Mazarin. His prints, signed N. Cochin, are often confused with those of his half-brother Noël Cochin (1622-after 1687). It is not clear how they were related to Charles-Nicolas Cochin I and his more celebrated son Charles-Nicolas Cochin II (1715-1790), both of whom were employed in Paris.http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/c/cochin/son/biograph.html
