French painter and the son of a carpenter,
Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) was born in Paris, which he rarely left. He spent the beginnings of his career as an apprentice to various Parisian masters. In 1728, he was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. He regularly exhibited his work and was an exemplary academic. For 50 years, he regularly attended all meetings. He gained popularity for his still lifes, for example
Still Life With Hare, which attracted the attention of Louis XV. In 1757, he gave Chardin a studio in the Louvre. He created his last
Classicist oil painting in 1776. He died at the age of 80 due to serious health problems. His work influenced many world-renowned artists. His greatest admirer was
Henri Matisse, who as a student made four copies of Chardin’s images. His influence can be found in the paintings of
Paul Cézanne and
Edouard Manet.
