Oudry, Jean-Baptiste (1686–1755). French painter, tapestry designer, and illustrator. He was a pupil of
Largillière and painted some portraits, but he is renowned chiefly as one of the outstanding animal painters of the 18th century. With
Desportes he was his period's foremost exponent of hunting scenes and still lifes with dead game. Some of his best work was done as a tapestry designer, and he was head of the Beauvais and
Gobelins factories from 1734 and 1748 respectively. He also did book illustrations, notably for an edition of La Fontaine's
Fables (1755–9). His son
Jacques-Charles (1722/3–78), a flower and animal painter, sometimes collaborated with him.
