Jean Turpin , also Jean Turpinus (* 1561 in France , † after 1626 in Rome ) was a French engraver and art dealer who worked in Rome.

Life

Jean Turpin was married to Bartolomée-Félicie. He shared a small apartment in a house from the 14th or 15th century with his wife, her sister and the engraver Philippe Thomassin , with whom he had entered into a business partnership since 1588. Thomassin married Barbara Ungé (or Unger), the sister of Turpin's wife, in 1589, so that they were related by marriage. The Turpins had at least one daughter, Jeanne, who was born in Rome on May 22, 1597 and baptized on May 25. Another daughter was born in May 1598 and was named Barbara after her aunt. Caesar, born on May 27, was baptized on May 30, 1599 and their daughter Catherine was born in November 1601 (although it is emphasized that Philippe Thomassin did not sponsor her because the couple separated after the death of his wife Barbara). After the death of Barbara Ungé, his partnership with Thomassin ended on January 19, 1602. Between 1597 and 1602 he was also associated with the engraver (?) And art dealer Philippe Thomassin.

Turpin's role in the joint venture with Thomassin is unclear, only very few signed engravings are known:

  • Henry IV of France on horseback
  • Morte e miracolo del B. Filipo Fiorentino , after Lorenzo Sabbatini
  • The courtship . Engraving by Jean Turpin and Pieter Jode (1599)

His son Cesare Turpin was also active as a painter in Rome and can be traced back to 1620.
