[The 19th-century confusion withGeorges Lallemand of Nancy, a teacher ofNicolas Poussin ,Philippe de Champaigne andLaurent de La Hyre , has long been cleared up; see Léon Horsin-Déon, "Essai sur les portraitistes français de la renaissance" (Paris: Larousse) 1888:179.]His "morceaux de reception" for the
Académie de peinture et de sculpture in 1672 [He was "agrée" the previous year.] were his portraits of the architectCharles Perrault and of the financier Gédéon Berbier du Metz, "président de la Chambre des Comptes".He died in
Paris in 1716.A monograph was Max. Sutaine, "Philippe Lallemant, peintre de Reims XVIIe siècle" (Paris: Regnier) 1856.
