[101] Leonard the Limousin, so called to distinguish him from Leonard
the Engraver, was retained by Francois I., who gave him the post of
one of his valets. He was the greatest enameller of his day, excelling
chiefly in portraiture. His other work is unequal, being often
inferior in colour and marred by the influence of the Italian school,
the defects and absurdities of which, without its merits, he, in
common with the decorators of Fontainebleau, too frequently reproduced.

[103] So called after M. Michel Chasles, the eminent geometrician, who
was a Chartrain.
