BOUTEMIE (or BOUTMIE), DANIEL (B.D.M., Vol. I, I904, p. 241).
Goldsmith, Engraver and Medallist of the middle years of the
seventeenth century, and a contemporary of Warin, circ. I628-1636.
His name also occurs as Bouthemnie, and in contemporary documents
he is styled orfevre ordinaire du Roy. One of his ornamental engravings is dated 1636, and the medal of Habert de Montmor, signed
BOUTEMIE, belongs to circ. 1646-48. The artist was in close acquaintance with Simon Vouet, the first official court painter. His works
are all very rare. The few medals known by him are cast, and
betray a good taste and clever technique. They are those of Simon
Vouet and his wife, Virginia del Vezzo (with their portraits on
either side); - Uniface medal with busts of the four children of
Simon Vouet, Francisca, Joan-Antrelica, Laurentius, Ludovicus-Renatus
Vouet,paternae titelae dulciss. parente Virginia de Fezo relicti, a. 1640;
- Henri Louis Habert de Montmor, with busts on 13L of his wife
and four children (a specimen of this rare medal, in bronze gilt
recently passed through my hands, and has since been transferred to
a Paris collection).
M. Jean de Foville has dedicated to Daniel Boutemie an interesting paper, in which he analyses his work, in Revue de l'Art, I912,
pp. 439-448.
Boutemie engraved a series of plates of ornaments.
