Jean François de Le Motte
Jean François de Le Motte (active second half of the 17th century) was a French still-life painter who specialised in trompe-l'œil compositions — illusionistic paintings of letter racks, palettes, prints, and other studio bric-à-brac arranged with such fidelity that contemporaries reported reaching out to pluck the painted objects from the canvas. Few biographical details survive; his work circulates today in major European and American collections.
