Raise of his/her older brother Louis, Lagrenée remained with him in Russia of 1760 with 1762, then with the Académie of Rome of 1763 with 1768.

Approved by the royal Academy in 1769, it regularly exposes to the Art gallery of 1771 and 1804. The June 30th 1775, it is received with the Academy with the Plafond of the Winter of the Gallery of Apollo to the Louvre. In 1776, it is named assistant of professor and, in 1781, titular professor.

Lagrenée reproduced very skilfully on the fabric, wood, glass and the marble of paintings of the thermal baths and the Etruscan vases and the arabesques.
