Charles-Joseph Natoire (3 March 1700 – 23 August 1777) was a French painter in the Rococo manner, a pupil of François Lemoyne and director of the French Academy in Rome, 1751-1775. Considered during his lifetime the equal of François Boucher, he played a prominent role in the artistic life of France. He is remembered above all for the series of the ''History of Psyche'' for Germain Boffrand's oval ''salon de la Princesse'' in the Hôtel de Soubise, Paris, and for the tapestry cartoons for the series of the ''History of Don Quixote'', woven at the Beauvais tapestry manufacture, most of which are at the Château de Compiègne. ==First Roman stay (1723-1729)== He was born in Nîmes. Natoire's father Florent Natoire, a sculptor, gave him his fundamental training in drawing, then sent him to Paris in 1717 to complete his training, first in the atelier of Louis Galloche (1670–1761), ''peintre du Roi'' and professor at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, and then in the atelier of François Lemoyne, whose training shaped Natoire's style. In 1721 he obtained the Prix de Rome with a ''Sacrifice of Manoah to obtain a son''. On 30 June 1723 he was appointed a ''pensionnaire'' at the French Academy in Rome, at the time lodged in the Palazzo Mancini, where he arrived in October. During his stay he executed a copy of Pietro da Cortona's ''Rape of the Sabine Women''. In December 1725 he won a first prize from the Accademia di San Luca with a ''Moses Returning from Sinai''. In 1728 he painted for the French ambassador, the prince de Polignac, an ''Expulsion of the Money-Changers from the Temple''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles-Joseph Natoire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
