early life and career

charles mellin, a french painter, was born in nancy, lorraine in 1597. despite his origins, he spent most of his artistic career in italy, earning him the nickname carlo lorenese ("charles the lorrainer"). this moniker reflects the significant influence italian art had on his style.
