Léon Davent was a French printmaker in the mid 16th century, closely associated with the First School of Fontainebleau. He worked in both engraving and etching and many of his works are based on designs by Francesco Primaticcio, "rendered boldly and freely". Others use designs by Luca Penni and other artists. It is thought that there was a workshop at the Palace of Fontainebleau itself in the 1540s, where he was one of the leading printmakers. Their main purpose seems to have been to record the new style being forged at Fontainebleau, copying both the main subject paintings and the elaborate ornamental stuccos and other decorations.

- Léon Davent est un graveur français actif entre 1540 et 1556, étroitement associé à la première école de Fontainebleau. Il a travaillé à la fois au burin et à l'eau-forte et nombre de ses œuvres sont basées sur des dessins de Francesco Primaticcio, « rendus avec audace et liberté », ou Luca Penni, notamment. À quelques exceptions près, ses estampes sont signées uniquement par « L.D. », et son identité a longtemps été incertaine ; il est connu sous le nom de « Maître L. D. » dans la littérature plus ancienne. Entre 98 et 226 estampes lui sont attribuées. (fr)

| - Léon Davent est un graveur français actif entre 1540 et 1556, étroitement associé à la première école de Fontainebleau. Il a travaillé à la fois au burin et à l'eau-forte et nombre de ses œuvres sont basées sur des dessins de Francesco Primaticcio, « rendus avec audace et liberté », ou Luca Penni, notamment. On pense qu'il existait un atelier au château de Fontainebleau dans les années 1540, dans lequel il était l'un des principaux graveurs. Leur principal objectif semble avoir été d'enregistrer le nouveau style qui se forgeait à Fontainebleau, en copiant à la fois les peintures des sujets principaux et les stucs ornementaux élaborés ou autres décorations. À quelques exceptions près, ses estampes sont signées uniquement par « L.D. », et son identité a longtemps été incertaine ; il est connu sous le nom de « Maître L. D. » dans la littérature plus ancienne. Entre 98 et 226 estampes lui sont attribuées. (fr)

Their main purpose seems to have been to record the new style being forged at Fontainebleau, copying both the main subject paintings and the elaborate ornamental stuccos and other decorations. With a couple of exceptions his prints are signed only with "L.D.", and his identity was long uncertain; he is known as the Master L.D. in older literature. Lists of his works have attributed between 98 (Henri Zerner) and 226 (F. Herbet) prints to him. (en)
