Historical background
DASSIER - FAMOUS MEN
Jean Dassier is a Swiss medalist born in Geneva in 1676, son of an engraver of the Geneva Mint. He also studied in Paris with Mauger and Röettiers. Back in Geneva, he was engraver and then chief engraver after the death of his father until 1763. He was the author of several series on the great figures of the reform, Geneva theologians, kings and queens of England, Roman history, the history of Geneva, illustrious men, the kings of France and great French figures. The series on famous men includes 67 medals designed by D'Arlau, the list of which appears in the Mercure de France of April 1723, p. 300 and in a work printed in 1723 in Paris.
