Caffieri: A Master of Capturing Life's Essence Jean Jacques Caffieri, a renowned artist from the 18th century, left an indelible mark on the art world with his exquisite creations. Born in 1725 and passing away in 1792, Caffieri's talent knew no bounds. One of his notable works is a captivating bust of Rotrou, proudly displayed at the Theatre-Francais foyer. His artistic prowess extended beyond sculptures; he also dabbled in various mediums such as lithography. "Record Prices for Pictures and Cabinets" showcases his ability to capture attention through this technique, leaving viewers mesmerized by its intricate details.

Meanwhile, "A Rising Tide" captures both tranquility and excitement simultaneously - showcasing a young seaweed-gatherer immersed in her task while surrounded by jetsam and flotsam brought forth by nature's ebb and flow. Caffieri further explored rural themes with pieces like "Gathering Pumpkins.
