Who was Claude Audran the Elder?

Claude Audran the Elder was a French engraver.

Audran the brother of Charles Audran, was born in Paris in 1597. After receiving some instruction from Charles, he moved to Lyons, where he died in 1677. It is uncertain whether or not he visited Rome. His engravings, which are signed either "Claude Audran", or "Cl. Audran", are executed in the manner of Cornelis Cort and F. Villamena. They are mostly portraits and allegories. He left three sons, Germain, Claude the younger, and GĂ©rard.
