Perronneau Portrait of the Painter Jean Baptiste Oudry 1753
Jean-Baptiste Perronneau (Paris, c. 1715–Amsterdam, 19 November 1783) was a French painter who specialized in portraits executed in pastels. Perronneau began his career as an engraver, apparently studying with Laurent Cars, whose portrait he drew, and working for the printseller Huquier, rue Saint-Jacques, Paris, making his first portraits in oils, and especially in pastels, in the 1740s. His career was much in the shadow of the master of the French pastel portrait, Maurice Quentin de La Tour. In the Salon of 1750, Perronneau exhibited his pastel portrait of Maurice-Quentin de la Tour, but found to his dismay that La Tour was exhibited his own self portrait, perhaps a malicious confrontation to demonstrate his superiority in the technique.
