(1518/19-83)
known as a copperplate engraver, Delaune
was originally an engraver of medals and seems to have
worked with Benvenuto Cellini during his sojourn in
Paris. In 1552 Delaune was briefly engraver to the newly
mechanized Paris mint. Some of his drawings for medals and coins are at the Bibliotheque Nationale.
