Private Collection Little is known about the artists early years or when exactly he arrived in Italy as he is not documented anywhere until 1750, when the Marquis de Vandières met him in Rome. It has traditionally been assumed that Lacroix was a pupil of Claude-Joseph Vernet and they were evidently working side by side in Rome in 1751 when Lacroix executed four copies, now at Uppark, Sussex, of four works by Vernet painted in that year, also at Uppark. Lacroixs copies are almost indistinguishable from Vernets prototypes, which may help to explain why he only emerges from obscurity after his and Vernets paths separated in 1753, once Vernet had returned to France and left Lacroix in Rome. Lacroix spent more than another ten years there before returning to France, where he is recorded in 1776 and 1780. He died in 1782, in Berlin according to Pahin de la Blancherie.
