French etcher and engraver, print-publisher and print-seller, son and pupil of Louis de Surugue de Surgis. He trained with his father and was received (reçu) by the Académie Royale on 30 September 1741, his morceaux de réception being portraits of the sculptors René Frémin after Maurice-Quentin de La Tour and Simon Guillain after Noël-Nicolas Coypel. He became an Académicien on 29 July 1747. He exhibited at the Salon from 1742 to 1761. He succeeded his father as Contrôleur Général des Rentes. In 1767 he received a pontifical knighthood (Éperon d'Or) and was made count of Laterano. His style was very like his father's; he engraved portraits and history scenes, as well as some large decorative pieces, such as the project for the Salon de Saint-Cloud and the Apotheosis of Hercules after Charles-Antoine Coypel. His best-known works are the Singe peintre after Chardin and Clytie after Charles-Antoine Coypel. Pierre-Louis de Surugue rates among the best engravers of the 18th century. Along with his father he was among the best interpreters of Chardin's work. The enviable task of engraving Quentin de la Tour's work also fell to him. His output was considerable. The Surugue family was wealthy and well connected. Pierre-Louis had 13 children from his marriage with Marie Élisabeth Sageon. //
