Jean-Louis Voille
Jean-Louis Voille (* around 1744 in Paris , † around 1802/03 in Saint Petersburg ) was a French painter.
Life
Jean-Louis Voille studied with François Hubert Drouais . At the beginning of the 1770s Voille worked in Russia , where he became court painter to Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich, who later became Tsar Paul I , from 1780 . He returned to France in the mid-1790s. After Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte took power, however, he moved back to Saint Petersburg , where apparently his trace is lost. After all, three different years of death are mentioned equally (1797, 1803 and 1805), probably also an indirect consequence of the fact that until recently some of his works were attributed to the more famous Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun , who used a similar style of painting.
