Jean-Baptiste Greuze, born in Tournus on August 21, 1725 and died in Paris on March 21, 1805, was a French painter and draftsman. With light, luminous colors and the light attitude of 18th century painting, Greuze introduced a Dutch-influenced realism into French genre painting and portraiture. Through vivid facial expressions and dramatic gestures, these moralizing paintings illustrate the idea that painting should relate to life. He captures the details of the sets and costumes, speaks to the heart, educates the observers and seeks to make them "virtuous". Cleveland Museum of Arts. Public domain.
