Description: | This is an important painting by Jacques Sablet (1749-1803). Like many French artists of this period, Sablet studied in Italy. Around 1781 he abandoned academic history paintings to concentrate on touching genre scenes of family life and the impact of war, such as this. He was forced to leave Rome in 1793, and moved to Paris where he exhibited regularly at the Salon. This work was painted for Napoleon's maternal uncle, Cardinal Joseph Fesch who assembled his massive art collection after 1793. Many paintings were gained through Napoleon's campaigns. Fesch owned several paintings by Sablet, including another work with a very similar subject. | Subjects: | military and war; everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sablet, Jacques Henri (Swiss painter, 1749-1803) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8315... | Go to resource |
