See also:PETITOT, See also:JEAN (1608–1691) , See also:French-Swiss See also:enamel painter, was See also:born at See also:Geneva, a member of a Burgundian See also:family which had fled from See also:France on See also:account of religious difficulties. His See also:father, Faulle, was a See also:wood See also:carver; his See also:mother's name was Etienette Royaume. Jean was the See also:fourth son, and was apprenticed to a jeweller See also:goldsmith named See also:Pierre Bordier, with whom he struck up a See also:close friendship. The two See also:friends, dissatisfied with the progress they made in Geneva, went into France, and after working for a while with Toutin came to See also:England with letters of introduction to Turquet de Mayern, physician to See also:Charles I., who presented them to the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)

king, for whom they made a St See also:George for the badge of the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order and carried out many commissions for portraits; amongst others preparing two large ones representing See also:Rachel de See also:Ruvigny, countess of See also:Southampton, now at See also:Chatsworth, and See also:Mary See also:Villiers, duchess of See also:Richmond and See also:Lennox, dated 1643, at one See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time in the See also:possession of the See also:Crown and now in the Pierpont See also:Morgan collection. On the See also:execution of the king, Petitot See also:left England for See also:Paris with the royal See also:household, Bordier remaining in England and carrying out certain important commissions for See also:Cromwell and the See also:parliament. On reaching Paris, Petitot entered into See also:partnership with a goldsmith, Jacques Bordier, a See also:cousin of Pierre, and it seems probable from See also:recent See also:research in contemporary documents that the enamel portraits attributed to Petitot were really the See also:work of the two partners collaborating, the actual See also:drawing being the work of Petitot, while for the enamel See also:process Bordier was mainly responsible. The two painters were given apartments in the Louvre, received numerous commissions from See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XIV., and painted portraits of almost every See also:person of importance in his brilliant See also:court. The friendship between the two lasted for See also:thirty-five years, and was only put an end to by Bordier's See also:death. The enamellers rendered See also:special See also:political services in France for the See also:republic of Geneva, and were practically regarded as the See also:official representatives of the republic, receiving warm thanks from the Syndics for their See also:diplomatic work. On the revocation of the See also:Edict of See also:Nantes, 1685, pressure was brought to See also:bear upon Petitot that he should See also:change his See also:religion. The king protected him as See also:long as possible, and when he was arrested, with his niece, See also:Anne Bordier, sent See also:Bossuet, See also:bishop of See also:Meaux, to convince the old See also:man of the See also:error of his ways. Eventually, in poor See also:health and See also:great despair, Petitot placed his See also:signature to an See also:act of See also:abjuration, and Louis XIV., unwilling to acknowledge the true See also:reason for the imprisonment of Petitot and for his liberation, informed one of his sons, who came to thank him for the See also:pardon given to his father, that he was willing to fall in for once with " the whim of an old man who desired to be buried with his ancestors." In 1687 therefore Petitot left Paris to return to Geneva, and, after a long and tedious inquiry, was absolved by the See also:consistory of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church of Geneva from the See also:crime of which they considered he had been guilty, and received back to the Huguenot communion in the church of St See also:Gervais. In Geneva he received a very important See also:commission from See also:John Sobieski, king of See also:Poland, who required portraits of himself and his See also:queen. This was followed by number-less other commissions which the painter carried out. He died of See also:paralysis on the 3rd of See also:April 1691, while in the very act of See also:painting on the enamel a portrait of his faithful wife.
Petitot married in 1651 See also:Marguerite Cuper, and Jacques Bordier married in the same See also:year her younger See also:sister Anne Madeleine. He had seventeen See also:children, and for their benefit wrote out a little See also:octavo See also:volume containing some genealogical See also:information, two delightful portraits, one of himself and one of his wife, and many pages occupied with prayers, meditations and religious See also:advice. He also prepared a second See also:manuscript volume of prayers and meditations for the use of his family, and from these two books and the records of the Huguenot See also:societies of France and England information has been obtained respecting the painter and his family.
