Pierre Dulin, or Pierre d’Ulin, was a French painter. Pierre Dulin was born in Paris on 17 September 1669. After learning some principles of grammar and Latin, Dulin studied geometry and practical perspective under Sébastien Leclerc, he was intended to become an architect like his father, was required to study that subject under Philippe de La Hire. In a short time he could draw buildings with ease and taste. So that he could draw figures and ornaments, still with the goal of becoming an architect, his father put him under Friquet de Vauroze of the Academy of Architecture; this is. He yielded to this passion, he was therefore placed in a course at the Royal Academy of Painting under Bon Boullogne, whose classicist style would influence him. Dulin, whose start in art education had been delayed, won few prizes up to 1694, when he was aged 25; the following year, his teacher advised him to stand for the Academy's grand prize. He did not win. Undiscouraged, he won the next year with great distinction.

His painting, whose subject was "Pharaoh giving his ring to Joseph after the explanation of dreams", was found so much above what had been seen so far from him that there was suspicion of cheating. Before granting the prize to Dulin, the Academy asked that he prove his capacity to the Director, executing in his presence a work on a subject given by the Director, he passed this test successfully. The next year he entered a picture of "Joseph's brothers held as spies in the court of Pharaoh", considered an more brilliant work; the previous year he had tied for the first prize with Michel Cornical, but this time he won more votes than his rival. The Academy excluded him from subsequent competitions as being too formidable an artist, put him on the list of pupils to go to the Academy of Rome, he was not ready for this trip until the following year, about the time when René-Antoine Houasse was promoted to the direction of the school of Rome, he proposed to accompany Houasse. However, work that he had undertaken for the Duke of Richelieu obliged him to defer the trip to Rome.

This was a great allegorical subject that would decorate a sundial in the garden of the hotel that Richelieu occupied in the Place Royale. The taste that Dulin had shown in his sketch was so great that Richelieu could not bring himself to let him go and he obtained an order from Mansart for him to stay; this was less to force him to stay than to ensure that he retained his scholarship to the school of Rome. The Duke loved the arts and artists, felt this sentiment to a particular degree with Dulin, since he kept Dulin in his house, admitted him to his table and provided servants to look after him; when the sundial was complete, Dulin began composition of several works: Time, the Three Fates, Daybreak Personified and the Genie of the Hours. He made two large portraits of the Duke, one dressed as a Roman on horseback, the other of him in armor; the piece which brought him the greatest applause, was seen as a wonder, was a painting he made in great secrecy after three paintings by Nicolas Poussin that represented pagan festivals and that were owned by Richelieu.

Dulin chose a party in honor of Bacchus, composed and executed so much in the style of Poussin, that many connoisseurs there were taken in, ensuring that his new patron became one of his most zealous promoters. His reputation brought him to Mansart's attention, who engaged ham and proposed he should not leave Paris, with an offer of working for the King and a recommendation to the Academy to receive him, Dulin placed great store on what he could learn in Italy and was so determined to go that, afraid that the Duke de Richelieu would raise some new obstacle, he left without taking leave, he arrived in Rome at the beginning of March 1700. He became absorbed in the study of the great works of art. Above all he endeavored to penetrate the beauties of Raphael's paintings in the Vatican; the effort and care that he put into copying the "Battle of Attila" brought him to the attention of Pope Clement XI. The pontiff, who loved the arts, in which he was educated in his youth and in which he maintained pleasure, talked to him more than once in a amicable way.

Dulin made an altarpiece for the Dominicans in Rome on the subject of Saint Thomas Aquinas, presenting the Virgin with his book Summa Theologica. This brought him into a special relationship with Antonin Cloche, general of the order, with whom he discussed principles of architecture, the proportions of the five orders, initiated the theory of plans. During his stay in Rome, Dulin made several portraits, he was chosen in preference to all others to portray the Spanish ambassador to Rome. When his pension expired and he was preparing to return to France, he had a private audience with the Pope, who pressed him to stay in Rome; when Dulin resisted the Pope presented him with his portrait, set in a ring, ornamented with two rubies and some diamonds, gave him several medals and relics. Dulin was received by the Academy on 30 April 1707 with the painting "Laomedon punished by Apollo and Neptune" as his reception piece. Dulin was elected Assistant Professor on 26 October 1726, he died in Paris 28 January 1748.
