夏尔丹出生在巴黎，一个木工的儿子，很少离开这座城市。他住在左岸附近的圣叙尔皮斯教堂，直到1757年，当路易十五授予他的工作室和宿舍卢浮宫。

夏尔丹进入玛格丽特Saintard 1723年，婚约人，他没有结婚，直到1731年。[3]他担任学徒与历史画家皮埃尔·雅克·卡兹和诺埃尔-萨科Coypel酒店，并于1724年成为了大师的Académie德圣-吕克。

 据一位十九世纪作家，在当它是很难知道的画家来到皇家科学院的注意时，他第一次正规发现后通知通过显示在“小科珀斯克里斯蒂”一画（持有8天一个）在此情此景（由新桥）。凡洛欧，在1720年匆匆而过，买了它，后来协助年轻的画家。

一经演示的光芒在1728年，他考入法兰西皇家PEINTURE等德雕塑。次年，他割让他的Académie德圣-吕克位置。他以“在任何价格他的客户选择了向他支付了各种流派全国生产[和]画”作了适度的生活，[5]和该项工作为恢复壁画在画廊弗朗索瓦一世在枫丹白露于1731年。[6]在1731年11月他的儿子让-皮埃尔·受洗，和一个女儿，玛格丽特阿涅斯，1733年中接受了洗礼1735年他的妻子玛格丽特去世，并在两年内玛格丽特阿涅斯已经死了为好。

于1737年开始夏尔丹在展出定期沙龙。他将被证明是一个“专门的院士”，[2]定期参加会议了五十年，并先后充当顾问，财务主管和秘书，在1761年监督沙龙展览的安装。

他的作品通过他的生殖版画得到普及流派的画作，这带来了夏尔丹收入的“现在被称为特许权使用费”的形式（由艺术家，如F.-B.Lépicié和P.-L. Sugurue制造）。[ 8] 1744年，他进入了他的第二次婚姻，这一次弗朗索瓦-玛格丽特POUGET。工会带来了夏尔丹的财务状况大幅改善。在1745年一个女儿的Angélique -弗朗索瓦，出生，但她1746年去世。

1752年夏尔丹被授予的500退休金里弗路易十五。在1759年的沙龙展出他的画作9; 它是由在评论第一沙龙狄德罗，谁被证明是夏尔丹的作品的崇拜者和公共冠军。在1761年开始，他代表沙龙，同时安排展览，并作为责任掌柜，导致生产力的绘画缩减，和以前的作品的“复制品”的表现。[10] 1763年他为法兰西学院服务均与养老金额外的200里弗确认。在1765年，他被一致推选为科学学院，纯文学等鲁昂艺术的准会员，但没有证据表明他离开巴黎接受了荣誉。[10]通过1770夏尔丹是“总理PEINTRE DU ROI”和他1400里弗的养老金是在学院中最高的。

1772年夏尔丹的儿子，也是画家，淹没在威尼斯，一个可能的自杀。[11]艺术家最后一个已知的油画日期为1776; 他最后参加沙龙在1779年，并有好几个柔和的研究。重病在那一年的11月，他在巴黎去世12月6日，在80岁。

夏尔丹的作品有什么共同之处与洛可可绘画在18世纪占主导地位的法国艺术。在当历史画被认为是公共艺术的最高分类的时候，选择的夏尔丹的受试者被视为次要的类别。[2]他主张简单而精美的质感静物，并巧妙处理国内的内饰和风俗画。操作简单，即使是赤裸裸的，常见的家用物品（画静物与一个吸烟者的盒子），并描绘在无情地儿童的纯真一种不可思议的能力（男孩与一个顶[右]），但发现他的时间的鉴赏力的观众，和账号他永恒的吸引力。

主要是自学成才的，夏尔丹大大的现实主义和17世纪的题材影响低国家的主人。尽管他方兴未艾的非常规写照资产阶级，早期支持从法国来到食客贵族，包括路易十五。虽然他的知名度最初落在了动物和水果的绘画，由1730年代他介绍厨房用具到他的工作（铜质水箱，ca.1735，卢浮宫）。不久，人口人物他的场面为好，理应响应肖像画家谁挑战他拿起流派。[13] 女人密封函（约1733年），这可能是他第一次尝试，[14]其次儿童说的宽限期，如在半身成分乐Bénédicité在反思的时刻，和厨房女佣。这些不起眼的场景处理简单，日常活动，但他们也充当关于法国社会的水平文献信息源迄今尚未考虑画一个值得课题。[15]这些照片是值得注意的正式结构和图案的和谐。[2]夏尔丹说画画，“谁说了油漆颜色呢？一个员工的颜色，但有一个油漆的感觉。” [16]

夏尔丹经常画他的作品，尤其是他的风俗画，几乎所有这些存在于多个版本，这在许多情况下，几乎无法区分副本。[17]与期初女教师（1739年，在加拿大国家美术馆，渥太华），夏尔丹转移了他的注意力从工薪阶层的主体资产阶级生活的稍微更宽敞的场面。[18

在1756年，他回到了静物的主题。在18世纪70年代他的视力减弱，他走上画粉彩，他在执行他的妻子和他自己的肖像的介质（见自画像右上角）。他的作品粉彩现在高度重视。[19]夏尔丹的现存绘画作品，其中约200号，[5]在许多大型博物馆，包括卢浮宫。

夏尔丹的艺术在当今时代的影响进行了广泛，并已被充分证明。 爱德华·马奈的半身男孩吹泡泡和的静物塞尚也同样受惠于自己的前辈。他是之一亨利·马蒂斯的最崇拜的画家; 作为一种艺术的学生马蒂斯提出的四个夏尔丹的绘画册卢浮宫。柴姆·苏丁的静物看着夏尔丹为灵感，为画确实乔治·布拉克，后来，乔治·莫兰迪。1999年卢西恩弗洛伊德画和蚀刻后几个副本的年轻女教师（国家画廊，伦敦）。

普鲁斯特，一章中“如何打开你的眼睛？” 从追忆逝水年华（À追忆临时工年华），描述了一个忧郁的年轻男子坐在他简单的早餐桌上。发现他唯一的安慰是在卢浮宫的伟大杰作所描绘的美丽的虚的想法，看中了物化宫殿，丰富的首领，等等。作者告诉年轻人跟着他到卢浮宫在那里让-巴蒂斯特·夏尔丹的照片是另一段。在那里，他将看到仍然生活中的美在家庭和像剥萝卜日常活动。
 

Chardin was born in Paris, the son of a carpenter, rarely leave the city. He lives in the left bank near the Church of Saint Sulpice, until 1757 fifteen, when Louis granted his studio and dormitory in Le Louvre museum.
Chardin entered Margaret Saintard in 1723, the engagement, he didn't get married until 1731. [3] he served as an apprentice and history painter Pierre Jacques Katz and Noel Sarkozy's Coypel Hotel, and in 1724 became the Acad Mie de - Master Luc.
According to a writer in nineteenth Century, when it is difficult to know the painter came to the attention of the Royal Academy, he first discovered by notice displayed in the formal "small Corpus Christi" (a painting holds 8 days a) in the scene (the bridge). Fanloo, in 1720 in a hurry, bought it later helped the young painter.
After a demonstration of the light in 1728, he was admitted to the French royal PEINTURE and other German sculpture. The following year, he ceded his Acad Mie de Santa Luc position. He chose to "any customers in his price to pay him a national production [and] painting various genres of a modest life, [5] and the work for the restoration of murals in the Francois Thi Gallery in Fontainebleau in 1731. [6] in November 1731, his son Jean Pierre Se, and a daughter, Margaret Agnes, in 1733 1735 accepted the baptism of the death of his wife Margaret, and Margaret within two years Agnes has been dead for good.
In 1737 to start a regular salon on display. He will prove to be a "dedicated fellow", [2] regularly attended the meeting for fifty years and has served as a consultant, treasurer and secretary in 1761 to oversee the installation of the salon exhibition.
His work has been popular genre paintings through his reproductive prints, which brought Chardin income "now called royalties" form (by artists such as F.-B.L Pici and P.-L. e Sugurue). 8] 1744, he entered his second marriage, this time Francois - POUGET. The Union brought Chardin's financial situation improved significantly. In 1745 a daughter of Ang Francois, Lique, was born, but she died in 1746.
In 1752 500 Jinlifu Chardin was awarded the fifteen Louis retired. In 1759 9 Sharon exhibited his paintings; it is made in the first comment Sharon Diderot, who proved to be the work of Chardin admirers and public champion. In 1761, he represented the salon, and arrange exhibitions, and as a result in reduced productivity responsibility dispensers, painting, and previous works of the "copy" performance. [10] 1763 he confirmed the pension service of College France and an additional 200 livres. In 1765, he was unanimously elected as a member of the Academy of Sciences, pure literature and other arts in Rouen, but there is no evidence that he left Paris to accept the honor. [10] by 1770 "prime minister PEINTRE DU ROI XiaErDan" and his 1400 francs pension is the highest in the academy.
In 1772 Chardin's son, also a painter, drowned in Venice, a possible Dutch act. The last known oil painting date of the [11] artist was 1776; he finally took part in the salon in 1779, and had several gentle studies. He died in Paris in December 6th, at the age of 80, in the year of November.
  What Shardan's works have in common with rococo dominated French art in eighteenth Century. When the history painting was considered when the highest classification of public art, the choice of Chardin's subjects were treated as the secondary category. [2] he advocated simple and exquisite texture still lifes, and clever domestic interiors and genre painting. Simple operation, even if it is naked, common household items (painting still life with a smoker box), and depicted in a pure unbelievable ability to mercilessly children (boys and a top [right]), but found his time appreciation of the audience, and the account of his eternal appeal.
Largely self-taught, greatly Chardin realism and the seventeenth Century theme effects of low masters of the country. Despite his unconventional portrayal of the bourgeoisie in the ascendant, the early support came from France to the aristocratic patrons, including Louis fifteen. Although his popularity initially fell on the animal and the fruits of the painting, the kitchen appliances to his work by 1730s he (copper water tank, ca.1735, Le Louvre Museum). Soon, the demographic character of his scenes as well, should respond to the portrait painter who challenged him to pick up the genre. [13] women seal letters (about 1733), which may be his first attempt at [14], followed by children's grace period, such as in the half body composition of Le B n dicit in the moment of reflection, and kitchen maid. These humble scenes deal with simple, everyday activities, but they also act as a source of information on the level of French society literature so far has not been considered to draw a worthy subject. [15] these photos are notable for the harmony of formal structures and patterns. [2] says painting, "who says paint color? The color of an employee, but there is a feeling of paint." [16]
Chardin frequently painted his works, especially his genre paintings, almost all of these exist in multiple versions, which in many cases is almost impossible to distinguish a copy. [17] at the beginning of the period of female teachers (1739 in Canada, The National Gallery, Ottawa), Chardin shifted his attention from the working-class subject of bourgeois life a little more spacious scene. [18
In 1756, he returned to the theme of life. His eyesight was weakened in 1770s, he went on painting pastels, he performs his wife and his image of the media (see self portrait right corner). His work now attaches great importance to it. The existing paintings [19] about 200 Chardin, [5], in many major museums, including the Le Louvre museum.
The influence of Shardan's art in the modern era has been extensive and has been fully demonstrated. Edward Manal's body boy blew bubbles and still life Cezanne also benefited from their predecessors. He is one of Henry Mathis's most admired painters; as an art student, the four paintings of the by Matisse are presented by the Le Louvre museum. Chaim Sudin still looked at Shardan as inspiration for the picture was really George Burak, later, George Morandi. In 1999, Freud and Lucian painting after etching several copies of the young female teachers (National Gallery, London).
Proust, how does one open your eyes?" From the remembrance (for temporary recall time), described a melancholy young man sitting in his simple breakfast table. The only consolation he found was the beautiful, imaginary idea depicted in the great masterpieces of Le Louvre Museum, the materialized palace, the rich leaders, and so on. The author told the young man to follow him to the Le Louvre museum where Jean Baptiste Shardan's photograph was another. There, he will see the beauty of life still in the home and the daily activities like peeling the radish.
