"Nanteuil is at present known to many as one of the most excellent engravers, notable for portraits, made for the most part from his excellently executed and life-like drawings from nature."
-- Abraham Bosse, 1653
François de Vendome, Duc de Beaufort was an opponent of the repressive Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, and therefore extremely popular with the masses, though, as François de la Rochefoucaud remarked in 1672, "no man with so few amiable qualities was so generally loved."
