Kommentar
Vom Leben des Raphaël Trichet du Fresne ist nur überliefert: *1611 Bordeaux - † 1661 Paris. "Trichet du Fresne was the son of the lawyer and bibliophile Pierre Trichet (1586/7 - ca. 1649. He studied at the Collège de Guyenne, Paris. While working for the brother of Louis XIII, Gaston d′Orléans (1608 - 1660), he acquired works of art on buying excursions. While in Rome around 1630, he encounter the French expatriate intellectual community, centered around Sébastien Bourdon. Back in Paris by 1640 Trichet secured an appointment by Cardinal Richelieu to the Imprimerie Royale, reading texts for official authorization. There he met Nicolas Poussin. He was in Rome by 1644 facilitating the interactions between Poussin and the French ambassador to Venice, M. des Hameaux. Trichet published Leonardo da Vinci′s treatise on painting, Trattato della pittura in 1651, which had circulated in manuscript form. His Trattato contained an early biography of Leonardo and Alberti and contained a list of books at the end, forming the first annotated bibliography of art literature. By the following year, Trichet was working as the librarian and art curator to Queen Christina of Sweden in Stockholm. Trichet maintained a personal library of more than 1400 volumes, which was acquired by Fouquet for Saint-Mandé, and later by Colbert for the Bibliothèque Royale, today Bibliothèque Nationale de Françe à Paris."
