Biography


Marie-Anne-Hyacinthe Horthemels was one of three daughters of the Dutch bookseller Daniel Horthemels (c. 1650-1691) and his wife Marie Cellier (b. 1656), from Saint-Maurice, to the southeast of Paris. The family converted from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism, and became followers of the theologian Cornelius Jansen. Marie-Anne had at least five siblings. Her sister Louise-Magdeleine Horthemels was an active reproductive engraver who married Charles-Nicolas Cochin, graveur du roi.[1] Marie-Nicole married Alexis Simon Belle, peintre ordinaire du roi.[2] Her brothers Daniel and Denys continued in the bookselling trade, while Frédéric Horthemels was also an engraver.

Marie-Anne's first marriage was to the pastry-maker Germain Le Coq, who had worked for King Louis XIV of France (1638–1715) and for the Duchess of Burgundy.[3] They married around 1705, and Germain died around 1710. They had at least one son, Germain-Jacques Lecocq.[4] At the age of thirty, on 20 April 1712 she married again, to Nicolas-Henri Tardieu. They had five children: Louis-Nicolas, Jacques-Nicolas, Pierre-Denis, Marie-Perrette and Marie Madelaine.[3] Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu was born on 2 September 1716 in Paris. He was also to become a well-known engraver.[5]

Marie-Anne-Hyacinthe Horthemels died on 24 March 1727 at the age of 45.[6]


Work


Marie-Anne had a talent for engraving, and is known for her portraits of Cardinal de Bissy, Cardinal de Rohan and the Regent Philippe II, Duke of Orléans.[6][lower-alpha 1] The British Museum has an engraved portrait of James Francis Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender, after a painting by Alexis Simon Belle, dated 1720. The portrait was engraved by "MM. Horthemels", and is thought to be her work.[7]


References


  1. Her work is usually signed "Marie Horthemels", although her portrait of Cardinal de Bissy is signed "Marie-Hyacinthe Horthemels". There had been some debate over the authorship of the engravings signed only "Marie Horthemels", since they could be the work of her sister Marie-Nicole. However, the location of "rue Saint-Jacques, au Maecenas" is given on pieces signed "Marie" and "Marie-Hyacinthe", indicating that they are all the work of Marie-Anne-Hyacinthe Horthemels.[4]
