Chardin, Jean Baptiste
1699-1779
Regarded as one of the great French artists of the 1700's who lifted simple people into a painted world of quiet perfection.

Born in Paris, Chardin lived there all his life, content to paint the common scenes and objects of daily life. He applied his paint in a mixture of glazes and thick pigment that suggests the textures of his subjects with amazing accuracy.
