| Summary | "Greuze" by Harold Armitage is a biography written in the early 20th century, specifically during the early 1900s. The book chronicles the life and works of Jean Baptiste Greuze, an influential French painter of the 18th century, known for his genre scenes and portraits that capture the essence of daily life and the human condition. It explores both Greuze's artistic achievements and the personal struggles he faced throughout his life. In this biography, Armitage delves into the life of Greuze from his humble beginnings to his rise as a celebrated artist in Paris, documenting the significant events of his artistic career. The book discusses notable works such as "Un Père de Famille qui lit la Bible à ses Enfants" and "La Cruche Cassée," highlighting Greuze's focus on representing the lives of ordinary people and moral themes within his art. It also addresses the challenges he encountered, including struggles with financial stability, criticism from contemporaries, and the impact of the French Revolution on his career. Through detailed analysis and engaging storytelling, Armitage brings to light the complexity of both the artist and his works, painting a vivid picture of an era in which art was closely tied to social issues and morality.
