	Maurice Jacques (Getty Museum)
		Maurice Jacques published books of decorative prints and is known as a flower painter, but the bulk of his designs were produced for the weavers of the Gobelins tapestry manufactory.
		He began working at the manufactory in 1756 as a peintre et dessinateur en la Manufacture Royale des Gobelins (Painter and Designer for the Royal Gobelins Manufactory) and continued until his death.
		Jacques often worked with François Boucher, who designed central subjects for tapestries; the records of Gobelins note that he "zealously followed Monsieur Boucher's comments and was pleased to make all the changes that he thought necessary."

	Gobelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1662 the works in the Faubourg Saint Marcel, with the adjoining grounds, were purchased by Jean-Baptiste Colbert on behalf of Louis XIV and transformed into a general upholstery manufactory, in which designs both in tapestry and in all kinds of furniture were executed under the superintendence of the royal painter, Charles Le Brun.

		Gobelin was the name of a family of dyers, who in all probability came originally from Reims, and who in the middle of the 15th century established themselves in the Faubourg Saint Marcel, Paris, on the banks of the Bièvre.

		Upon Guillaume Werniers's death in 1738 the output of the shop was severely curtailed and the whole of the Lille tapestry manufactory suffered accordingly.
