Description: NATIONAL GALLERY, Washington DC - Chardin: "The House of Cards" - ART: Jean Siméon Chardin (often in his lifetime ( 1699 - 1779) also called Jean Baptiste Siméon Chardin) was born in Paris where he spent his entire life there. His art, especially his genre paintings, were sought by bourgeois, aristocratic, and royal collectors across Europe, from Paris to Stockholm, from Edinburgh to St. Petersburg, from Vienna to Karlsruhe. Chardin's laborious method of working, but also the success of certain designs, encouraged him to paint more than one and often several versions of many of his genre and still life subjects. The lowly character of his subject matter and his bold, impasto manner of painting ran counter to the prevalent rococo trend that dominated the Parisian art world in the early part of his career and to the academic classicism that developed during his last two decades. Yet Chardin remained admired and sought after until the end, in spite of a certain disdain expressed by more academically minded critics. This postcard shows his House of Cards, from the Mellon Collection. The card is in good condition.
