French engraver, the pupil of Robert Hecquet in Paris. By a portrait of the Comtesse de Feuquières (1735, after Pierre Mignard) Hyacinthe Rigaud becomes aware of Daullé, prefers him as against Drevet and chooses him as his permanent engraver. In 1737 he married Gabrielle-Anne Landry, the daughter of the engraver and publisher François Landry, in presence of Rigaud, François Boucher, Robert Hecquet, and other important persons. Although Daullé enjoys high esteem in his special line, the portrait, (86 of 177 works are portraits) he eventually turns to genre and historic representations. In 1757 he is appointed engraver of the Augsburg Academy. After 1759 Daullé asks several art collectors for the permission to engrave after their most important paintings; the motifs interpreted by him (landscapes, hunt, historic, and genre scenes, allegories) and artists are very different; he prefers Francesco Albani, Carracci, Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich, Gabriel Metsu, Jan Miel, Pierre Patel, Nicolas Poussin, David Teniers II, Adam Frans van der Meulen, and Joseph Vernet. In the inventory of his estate beside drawings and books there are 81 copper plates recorded. //
