Selfportrait

Twenty years after the first global showing of his paintings a retrospective exhibition of the works of Jean-Baptiste Chardin (1699-1779) has been inaugurated at the Grand Palais in Paris.

Chardin was considered as the last magician of still-life painting during the 18th Century but was then forgotten until at least 1870. Born to a billiard-maker in Paris, he had been admitted as a still-life painter at the French Academy of Painting in 1728 after presenting his skate fish and «Buffet», paintings now in the Louvre museum.

In 1731, Chardin married Marguerite Saintard to whom he had been engaged for eight years, a period during which he faced dire financial difficulties. Marguerite died four years later as well as their daughter in 1737.

Chardin exhibited his works for the first time at the Salon of the Louvre in 1737 which had been remaining closed since 1704. Six years later he was introduced to King Louis 15th to whom he offered two of his paintings : The Hard-working Mother and Grace (Bénédicité).
