Life

According to the art collector and art connoisseur Carl Heinrich von Heineken , Dubuisson was a student of Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (1636–1699). He lived in Italy for a long time, especially in Naples . It was there that the future Prussian court painter and director of the Berlin Art Academy married Antoine Pesne Dubuisson's eldest daughter.

When Pesne went to Berlin with his wife, Dubuisson first followed him there. According to Heineken, he moved to Dresden in 1717 to the court of August II. In 1723, however, he delivered a picture from Berlin. Some of his motifs were used as templates for wallpaper. They also came to Warsaw, where Dubuisson also moved after a few years. Two of his works have been in the Dresden Old Masters Picture Gallery since 1945 .
