Jacques de Lajoue, a French
architectural painter, was born in 1687 in
Paris. He became a member of the
Academy in 1721, and is noticed for a 'Perspective' which he executed in 1732 at the
Library of St. Geneviève. He also designed the title-page to the works of
Wouwerman.
Etchings have been made after him by
Cochin,
Tardieu, and others. He died in Paris in 1761.
