Etienne Aubry

1745 – 1781

French painter. He trained under Jacques-Augustin Silvestre (1719-1809) and Joseph Marie Vien, exhibiting portraits at the Salon from 1771 and becoming a member of the Académie Royale as a portrait painter in 1775. His portraits of such eminent contemporaries as the composer Christoph Willibald Gluck (Musée du Louvre, Paris) are characterized by a quiet, understated elegance.
