Etienne Jeaurat

Etienne Jeaurat , born the February 9th 1699 with Vermenton and dead the December 14th 1789 with Versailles, is a painter and Dessinateur French.

Orphan with very an young age, Etienne Jeaurat was taken under the protection of the painter Nicolas Vleughels who formed it and taken along with him in Italy in 1724. Jeaurat made an excellent official career: approved in 1731 by the Royal Academy, received in 1733, it becomes professor in there 1743, vice-chancellor in 1765 and chancellor in 1781. It exposed to all the living rooms of 1737 with 1769. It was moreover Garde of the Cabinet of the King in Versailles.

Jeaurat tried to imitate Chardin, though with less accuracy in the observation and less lightness in the hand, but its great error was to want painter of the scenes of history whereas its most obvious talent lay in its scenes of kind depicting the Parisian street or the life the domestic life where he excelled as in his Écosseuses of pea , its Éplucheuses of salad or Déménagement of the painter . Its Conduite prostitutes to Salpêtrière undoubtedly remains its most known work. The choice of these subjects was worth to him to be called the Vadé of painting by Diderot. Jeaurat, which met Vadé with the dinners of the Société of the end of the bench at Jeanne-Francoise Quinault has, indeed, surely been subject to the influence of the “Genre poissard” practiced by Vadé, Piron, Collé Panard or the Caylus. Jeaurat painted the poet Piron with table with his/her friends Vadé and Collé .

The older brother of Etienne Jeaurat, Edme Jeaurat (1688-1738), was engraver. The son of this last, Nicolas Henry Jeaurat, was also painter and studied under his uncle.
