LABEL: "Chardin's The Cellar Boy was exhibited with its pendant, The Scullery Maid, at the 1738 Salon. They were engraved in 1740 by one of Europe's most talented engravers, Charles-Nicolas Cochin, father of Chardin's biographer and a close friend of the artist. Cochin senior was particularly successful in reproducing Chardin's work. Not only could he faithfully reproduce textures or the concave and convex shapes of the objects skilfully arranged by the artist, but he was also able to capture the essence of the work, focusing on a moment of rest." | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | CELLAR BOY : POTS : KITCHEN : KEYS : HAT : PUB : WINE : FUNNEL : BARREL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
