Armand, Louis-Denis
French porcelain painter, born 1723, active 1745-1788
The name of the porcelain painter Louis-Denis Armand, who worked at the Vincennes and Sevres Porcelain Manufactories, has only recently come to light in the factory archives, and scholars know little about him as yet. He signed his works with the mark of a crescent and has been referred to as the "crescent painter." He specialized in painting birds in landscapes.
