## About Jean-Baptiste Lallemand

Jean-Baptiste Lallemand (1716–1803) was a French painter, draftsman, and printmaker born in Dijon. Active across several media—including oil, gouache, watercolor, etching, engraving, and fresco—he is best known for landscapes and genre scenes. After a formative period in Italy absorbing the classical landscape tradition, Lallemand settled in Paris and joined the Académie de Saint-Luc. His topographical views and architectural subjects reflect both his Italian travels and his interest in the built environment. He sometimes signed his works Lallemant or used the Latinized form Allemanus, a detail that can complicate attribution. The RKD holds over 340 images of his work, attesting to his prolific output across drawing, painting, and printmaking. Collectors today encounter Lallemand's work primarily through Old Master drawings, landscape paintings, and engraved prints that appear at auction in Europe and North America.

## Common works and media

Lallemand worked across a broad range of media. Collectors are most likely to encounter landscape paintings in oil or gouache, topographical and architectural drawings in ink and wash, engraved prints of monuments and city views, and genre scenes depicting everyday life. Etchings and engravings after his designs also circulate, sometimes bearing the names of professional printmakers rather than Lallemand himself. Fresco work is documented but does not typically appear on the market.

## Market and appraisal context

Lallemand's work appears regularly in Old Master sales at major auction houses. His oil landscapes and gouaches tend to attract the strongest interest, while his drawings and prints are more accessible entry points for collectors of 18th-century French art. Attribution requires care, as his variant signatures (Lallemand, Lallemant, Allemanus) and the collaborative nature of print publishing in the period can complicate authorship. Condition is especially important for works on paper from this era. Italian-period landscapes and architectural views may appeal to collectors of vedute, while his Parisian genre scenes attract buyers focused on French ancien régime material culture.
