CHARDIN, JEAN BAPTISTE SIMÉON, born in Paris, Nov. 2, 1699, died there, Dec. 6, 1779. French school; Genre, interiors, and still-life painter; pupil of Cazes, and of Noël Nicolas Coypel, who employed him to paint accessories and led him to adopt the style in which he was destined to excel. First attracted attention by a barber's sign, then in 1728 by La Raie (Louvre); admitted to Academy in 1728; treasurer in 1755. Long painted still-life, in which he has never been excelled. In 1737 began to paint pictures with figures of children. Similar domestic scenes exhibited in 1739-40 and 41 established his reputation as the painter of middle-class life. But one of his oil portraits (1773) is known. In the latter part of his life Chardin painted in pastel, of which the portraits of himself and his wife in the Louvre are examples.
