1699 1779 Baptiste Chardin Goncourt Painter Simeon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen sketch, titled "Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin: A Portrait by Goncourt," is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the personal life of the renowned French painter, Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779). The sketch was created by an unknown artist, identified only as Goncourt, in the year 1779. Chardin is depicted in the sketch with a warm and inviting smile, his round face framed by a thick beard and furrowed brow. The artist captures the essence of Chardin's character, revealing a man of deep thought and introspection. The use of ink adds a sense of intimacy and authenticity to the portrait, as if we are peering into the artist's private collection. Chardin was a master of still life painting, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to imbue inanimate objects with a sense of life and emotion. His works were highly sought after by collectors and art connoisseurs, and he was a respected member of the French Academy. Despite his success, little is known about Chardin's personal life. This sketch by Goncourt offers a rare insight into the man behind the art, revealing a kind and thoughtful individual, whose smile and warm demeanor belie the intensity and depth of his artistic vision. The sketch is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a person, and to transport us across time and space, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who came before us. This beautiful and intriguing portrait is a must-have for any collection of French art or art history, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
