GREUZE, JEAN BAPTISTE, born at
Tournus (Saône-et-Loire),
Aug.
21, 1725, died
in Paris, March
21, 1805. French
school; genre
and portrait
painter, pupil in
Lyons of Grandon,
and in Paris
of the Academy
in 1755. His picture of the Father reading
the Bible to his Children was exhibited and
greatly admired in the same year, at the
close of which he was taken to Italy by the
Abbé Goujenot. After his return he exhibited
at the Salons of 1757, 1759, and
1761, at which latter his Accordée du Village
(Louvre) excited the greatest enthusiasm.
Angry at being received into the
Academy (1767) as a genre and not as a
history painter, Greuze retired for a time to
Anjou, whence he returned to exhibit pictures
in his studio which attracted all Paris.
He amassed a large fortune, but lost it at
the Revolution. Neglected by the public,
which admired only the new school of David,
