{"title":"Raoux, Jean","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJean Raoux (1677-1734)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a French painter born in Montpellier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the usual course of training, he became a member of the Academy in 1717 as a historical painter. His reputation had been previously established by the acclaimed decorations executed during his three years in Italy at the palace of Giustiniani Solini in Venice, and by some easel paintings, the Four Ages of Man (National Gallery), commissioned by the grand prior of Vendôme. To this latter class of subject Raoux devoted himself, refusing to paint portraits except in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of his works is a long series of sets of the Seasons, of the Hours, of the Elements, or of those scenes of amusement and gallantry in the representation of which he was immeasurably surpassed by his younger rival Watteau. After his stay in England (1720), he lived much in the Temple, where he decorated several rooms. He died in Paris in 1734. His best pupils were Chevalier and Montdidier. His works were much engraved by Poilly, Moyreau, Dupuis, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"raoux-jean-1677-1734-young-girl-reading-a-letter","title":"Raoux, Jean (1677-1734) - Young Girl Reading a Letter","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the French artist Jean Raoux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 5540 pixels wide by 7040 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/raoux-jean\" title=\"Jean Raoux\"\u003eJean Raoux\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53457926914378,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Raoux_Jean_1677-1734_-YoungGirlReadingaLetter_main.jpg?v=1764206168"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Raoux_Jean_1677-1734-7496263.jpg?v=1768959744","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/raoux-jean.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
