He was born in Paris in 1642, became rector of the Académie de Saint-Luc, and died in Paris in 1711. Le Blanc attributes to him 201 plates, of which 20 are religious subjects, 46 portraits, and 135 costume prints.
He had three brothers: Robert, Jean-Baptiste, and Nicolas Bonnart.
His son, Jean Baptiste Henri Bonnart, followed his father's profession, and died in 1726, aged about 48 years. In Perrault's Cabinet des Beaux- Arts, published in Paris in 1690, there is a plate of a ceiling ornamented with figures, which is probably by him. It is etched in a free, masterly style, finished with the graver, and marked "Jean Bonnart, Junior, del. et sculpt."
