biography

Marie-Anne Horthemels was the first of the three daughters of the bookseller and publisher Daniel Horthemels, who immigrated from the Netherlands, and his wife Marie-Anne Cellier .

Her first marriage was to the court pastry chef Germain Lecoq, with whom she had a son. Germain Lecoq died in 1709, shortly after the child was born. In 1712 she married the engraver Nicolas-Henri Tardieu . She had gotten to know him because both lived in different parishes, but on the same street. From this marriage the son Jacques Nicolas was born. She worked as a copper engraver until her early death.

Marie-Anne Horthemels regularly signed her works as Anne Hortemels or Anne-Hyacinthe.

Her two sisters, Marie-Nicole and Louise-Madeleine , as well as her brother Frederic , were also engravers. The brothers Denis and Daniel II followed in their parents' footsteps.
