Geneviève Boullogne

Geneviève Boullogne, Boullongne or Boulogne (22 August 1645 – August 1708) was a French painter and member of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture.

Biography She was born in Paris, the sister of the painters Bon, Madeleine and Louis. She trained under their father Louis Boullogne. and collaborated with Madeleine on the grand apartments at the Palace of Versailles. She mainly painted historical subjects especially of flowers and fruit. She exhibited at least one painting on her own at the Paris Salon, that of a landscape in 1673. She worked closely with her sister, so much that it is often uncertain whether paintings were by one or both of them. These were therefore signed "Madelaire de Boulogne" or simply "Mlle Boulogne" with no first name.
