Biography

French etcher, active in Rome. 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 sometimes signed his plates with his name, Dominicus Barrière Massiliensis, and sometimes with the cipher which is the mark used by Domenico del Barbiere (c. 1506-c. 1570), and thus mistakes frequently arise, although their styles are extremely different.
