Gilles Hallet

Gilles Alé (or Hallet; 1620 in Liege – 1694 in Rome), a Flemish painter, worked in the latter half of the 17th century, and was distinguished for the purity of his style, according to the principles of the Roman school. According to the RKD he was the son of Jean Hallet who married the sister of Walther Damery. He studied under this uncle, along with his other uncle Jacques Damery.[1] He travelled to Rome where he worked most of his life.[1]

He painted in conjunction with Morandi, Bonatti, and Romanelli; and executed an altar-piece in oil, and the ceilings of the chapels in fresco, for the church of Santa Maria dell' Anima in Rome. Most of the paintings by him in Liege were destroyed when the French bombarded that town in 1691.

Notes
  1. Gilles Hallet in the RKD
gollark: There is empirical evidence of this in that we actually have the the various `aria-` attributes now, and basically nothing uses them, although that might just be because we have plenty of semantic elements anyway.
gollark: If you make it rely on explicit annotations, nobody will actually do this.
gollark: For instance, the scripting language is Lua, storage is... SQLite..., pages are also Lua table notation, and headers are Lua table notation too.
gollark: We're going all Lua here, for purposes.
gollark: Fiiiine, we can reexist forms, but they're subject to cross-origin requirements and they send Lua table notation instead of (ew) x-www-form-urlencoded.
