Jean-Baptiste Greuze
1725 – 1805
French painter. He had a great success at the 1755 Salon with his Father Reading the Bible to his Children (Louvre, Paris) and went on to win enormous popularity with similar sentimental and melodramatic genre scenes. His work was praised by Diderot as 'morality in paint' and as representing the highest ideal of painting in his day.
