Self-portrait (Musée des beaux-arts de Nîmes)

Jacques-François Delyen (born July 25, 1684) was a 17th-century French painter, specializing in portraits.

Life

Delyen was born in Ghent. As an apprentice of Nicolas de Largillierre from 1710 to 1715. He was influenced by his works and style. In 1725, Deylen was admitted to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture (Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture) based on his Academy pieces and his portraits of Nicolas Bertin and Guillaume Coustou. He exhibited his works regularly in the Academy between 1737 and 1747,[1] before his demise in Paris on March 3, 1761.

His 'Portrait dit de Jean de Paty de Rayet, seigneur du Rayé' was auctioned in 2014 for $7,607.[2]
