SURUGUE, French family of artists

Louis Surugue [de Surgis] (c. 1686-1762) was a draughtsman, etcher and engraver, print-publisher and print-seller. His son Pierre-Louis de Surugue (1716-1772) was likewise an etcher and engraver, print-publisher and print-seller.

Another branch of the Surugue family is represented by the family of Louis Surugue's brother Pierre-Etienne Surugue (c. 1698-1743), who was a sculptor. His son Pierre Surugue (1728-1786) was a painter and sculptor, and two of his daughters, Marie Surugue (b. 1750) and Denise-Charlotte Surugue (b. 1751), were painters, specializing in flower paintings.
