Pierre-Denis Martin

1663 – 1742

French painter, also called Martin le Jeune or Martin des Gobelins (because he was employed at the Gobelins Manufactory). He is said to have been the cousin or nephew of Jean-Baptiste Martin without evidences. He was the pupil of Adam Frans van der Meulen and Joseph Parrocel. He painted historical subjects, battles, hunts, and architectural views, particularly of royal residences, such as the Palace of Versailles and the Château de Compiègne. He produced a series of paintings at the Château de Choisy, which are now in the Versailles Museum.
