Dominique Barrière (c.1622–1678) was a French painter and engraver.
Life
Barrière was born at Marseilles in about 1622. He spent most of his career in Rome, where he engraved a considerable number of plates, after Claude and other landscape painters, as well as other subjects. They are neatly etched in the manner of Stefano della Bella. He died in Rome in 1678. He sometimes signed his plates with his name, Dominicus Barriere Massiliensis, and sometimes with the cipher which is the mark used by Domenico del Barbiere, and thus mistakes frequently arise, although their styles are extremely different.[1]
