Jean Baptiste Greuze, who became a pioneer of Classicism by his pathetic-looking portraits of the, is regarded as the main representative of the moralizing genre painting in France.
Born on August 21, 1725 in Tournus (Burgundy).
Died on March 21, 1805 in Paris.
In his early work, Jean Baptiste Greuze especially painted religious pictures and portraits. While studying at the Paris Academy, he came into contact with the engravers Philippe Le Bas and Pierre Étienne Moitte whose pictures granted him access to the Dutch genre painting of the 18th century . From 1761, being already well recognized, Jean Baptiste Greuze began painting more moralizing, allegorical interpretive genre pictures, such as the famous painting "The Broken Jug," by which he established the term "peinture morale".
