| Author's biography |
| French painter and draughtsman. He was one of the principal innovators in French art of the 1770s and 1780s, in the field of bothNeoclassical subjects and themes from national history. Despite the fact that he worked in a variety of styles, his sense of purpose appears to have been coherent at a time of profound change. His stylistic sources lay in the art of Classical antiquity and such masters as Raphael, the great Bolognese painters of the 17th century and Charles Le Brun; yet he also studied reality in a quasi-documentary way. His work, too often confused with that of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Jacques-Louis David or Louis-Léopold Boilly, is of a high standard, even though the completed paintings do not always uphold the promise of energy of his drawings and oil sketches.He married in 1800 Adelaide Labille-Guiard (1749-1803), a well-known woman painter of the period. |
