Francisque Millet was born in Antwerp but moved to Paris in 1659 and settled there. He is said to have visited Holland and England. There appear to be no acceptably signed pictures by him, but several are virtually authenticated by early
engravings.
He painted chiefly landscapes, somewhat in the style of
Nicolas Poussin. His real name was Jean-François, but he was usually known as Francisque.
