Jean-Charles François

Jean-Charles François (4 May 1717 – 22 March 1769) was a French engraver.

The personification of self-discovery by Jean-Charles François, 1760

François was born at Nancy. He was among the pioneers of the so-called "crayon manner" of printmaking, which simulated the appearance of crayon and chalk drawings.[1] He was pensioned by King Louis XV of France, who employed him extensively. His most noted works represent that king and his queen, Pierre Bayle, Erasmus, John Locke, and Nicolas Malebranche.

He died in Paris, aged 51.

gollark: ```javascriptconst getEnemy = (x, y) => { for (let i = 0; i < enemies.length; i++) { let other = enemies[i] if (other.x == x && other.y == y) return i } return -1}const getPlayer = (x, y) => { for (let i = 0; i < active_players.length; i++) { if (active_players[i]) { if (players[i].x == x && players[i].y == y) return i } } return -1}const getBonus = (x, y) => { for (let i = 0; i < bonuses.length; i++) { if (x == bonuses[i].x && y == bonuses[i].y) return i } return -1}```
gollark: This is for rendering the area around a player.
gollark: ```javascriptconst renderPlayer = (player) => { let str = "" for (let y = player.y - 5; y <= player.y + 5; y++) { for (let x = player.x - 10; x <= player.x + 10; x++) { let wallCol = getWallColor(x, y) if (x >= WIDTH) { str += wallCol } else if (y >= HEIGHT) { str += wallCol } else if (x < 0) { str += wallCol } else if (y < 0) { str += wallCol } else { let id = getEnemy(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += enemy_icons[enemies[id].id] } else { let id = getPlayer(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += players[id].icon } else { let id = getBonus(x, y) if (id != -1) { str += "?" } else { str += " " } } } } } str += "\n" } return str}```
gollark: YES, SOME OFFENSE.
gollark: As I said, this is not very good code.]
