SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Portraits of the aristocracy and the world of entertainment, historical and religious subjects, genre scenes in the Dutch manner: Jean Raoux’s work spans a range of fields. Trained in Paris in the studio of Bon Boullogne, he spent the years from 1705 to 1714 in Rome, Padua and Venice, then returned to Paris and joined the Academy. He died in Paris on 10 February 1734.
Works listed at the Musée Fabre include La Chasse de Didon et Énée, Le Jugement de Salomon and Pygmalion amoureux de sa statue. In Padua, L’Annonciation and La Visitation are noted in the left arm of the cathedral’s transept. Among the eighteenth-century art lovers named as collectors of his works are the Duke of Choiseul, the Prince of Conti, the Duke of Schönborn, Catherine II and Frederick II of Prussia.
The Musée Fabre devoted a retrospective to him from 28 November 2009 to 14 March 2010, which the institution described as the first dedicated to the artist; an article about the exhibition states that it brought together 90 works, including 45 paintings, 6 drawings and 13 prints. The works assembled came from French museums as well as collections in Germany, Austria, Italy, England, the United States and Russia.
