About Jean-Siméon Chardin

French · 1699–1779

Jean-Siméon Chardin was born in Paris, the son of a craftsman. He trained in painters’ studios and was admitted to the Royal Academy in 1728 as a painter of animals and fruit. His art found distinction in subjects often considered modest: still lifes and domestic scenes became opportunities for exceptionally attentive painting rather than displays of grand historical drama.

Chardin’s carefully constructed pictures describe both the appearance and the feel of objects. Dutch domestic painting offered an important example. His figure scenes explore work, education and family life, while his still lifes organise familiar materials into harmonious relationships. Critics admired the way his handling could make paint seem to hold the very substance of the things depicted.
