Alexis Grimou (French, 1678 - 1733)
Grimou was born on 24 May 1678 at Argenteuil outside Paris. Little is known of Grimou?s career, though he was very probably a pupil of Francois de Troy. He was a member of the Academie de Saint-Luc and worked mainly as a portraitist, and also produced number of self-portraits. He was strongly influenced by Dutch and Flemish art, in particular by Rembrandt and his followers. Grimou died in early May 1733 in Paris.
