Text in Italian
========================
Leclerc (1637-1714), French draftsman and etcher, was Professor of Geometry and Perspective in Paris.

Sébastien Leclerc or Le Clerc ( 1637— 1714) was an artist from the French province of the Three Bishoprics.
He specialized in subtle reproductive drawings, etchings, and engravings of paintings; and worked mostly in Paris, where he was counseled by the King's painter, Charles Le Brun, to devote himself entirely to engraving.

 Leclerc joined the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1672 and taught perspective there.
He worked for Louis XIV, being made "graveur du Roi" (attached to the Cabinet du Roi), doing engraving work for the royal house. Leclerc also engaged in periodic work as a technical draftsman and military engineer.

He was also a student of physics; military architecture; and perspective;
while he supported himself by providing illustrations for authors and booksellers.
