About Roland Paradis
Lived 1696 – 1754 (aged 57–58). Roland Paradis was a French artist and silversmith.
Roland Paradis (c. 1696 – April 28, 1754) was an important silversmith in New France (now part of Canada).
Paradis was born in Paris to Claude Paradis and Geneviève Cussy. His father was a silversmith, and likely taught his son the trade. Paradis moved to New France sometime before 1728. On February 3 of that year, he married Marie-Angélique Boivin in the church of Notre-Dame de Québec.
He worked as a silversmith for some time in Quebec City, but by June 1736 he is recorded as living and working in Ville-Marie, the older name for Montreal.
