Duchange, Gaspard (sold)
Gaspard Duchange (April 9, 1662 - January 6, 1757) was a French engraver, publisher, and print dealers active in Paris. Duchange studied engraving under Guillaume Vallet (1632 - 1704) and Jean Audran (1667 - 1756), his style more closely resembling the latter. He became a member of the L'Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1707. He collaborated extensively with another Audran student, Nicolas-Dauphin de Beauvais (c. 1687 - 1763), who married his daughter. His own apprentices include Pierre-François Beaumont (1719 - c. 1777), brothers Charles Dupuis (1685 - 1742) and Nicolas-Gabriel Dupuis (1698 - 1771), and François-Bernard Lépicié (1698 - 1755).
Pardies' star atlas is stylistically one of the most attractive ever published.

Pardies' charts were both revolutionary and influential, emerging as eager scholars and private researchers, aided by ever more sophisticated telescopes, advanced knowledge of astronomy by leaps and bounds.
