Van Loo followed his brother Jean-Baptiste to Turin, and then to Rome in 1712, where he studied under Benedetto Luti and the sculptor Pierre Le Gros. After leaving Italy in 1723, he worked in Paris, studied at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, where he gained first prize for drawing in 1723, and received the first prize for historical painting in 1727, as did his future rival François Boucher. In 1724 he won the Prix de Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter again visiting Turin in 1727, he was employed by King Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia, for whom he painted a series of subjects illustrative of Torquato Tasso.

Madame de Pompadour and the French court took the artist under their patronage. He was decorated with the Order of Saint Michael and named First Painter to King Louis XV in 1762.
