Charles Emile Jacque - Paintings

Born: 23 May 1813 in Paris

Already at an early age, Charles-Émile Jacque discovers his joy in painting. That is why, while being trained as a map engraver, he autodidactically teaches himself in this field. His early work consists of the cartoons, copper engravings, etchings and book illustrations, by which he can finance his passion. His favorite subjects are landscapes, animals in rural idyllic surrounding, with which he achieves first successes at the Paris Salon in 1845. Through his talent as an etcher, he becomes acquainted with the artist Jean-François Millet and founds together with him and other artists, like Camille Corot and Théodore Rousseau, the Barbizon School. Due to his passion for animal motifs, he soon becomes one of the best-known animal painters in the group. Especially pigs, chickens and, in later years, sheep appeal to him most. Like his fellow artists, Charles-Émile Jacque not only paints the idyllic landscape surrounding him, but also acquires his own pastures and breeds poultry. 		Charles Emile Jacque
