In het leven van Jean Baptiste Greuze
Het hele leven1769–1804
The quarrel with the Academy and his withdrawal from the Salons
Greatly incensed by the director’s words, Greuze quarrels with his confrères and ceases to exhibit until 1804, when the Revolution had thrown open the doors of the Academy to all the world.
1789–1799
The Revolution years: seclusion and the Nine Sisters lodge
During the Great French Revolution Greuze lives in seclusion and keeps out of politics, although he is a Freemason and belongs to the well-known lodge Les Neuf Sœurs.
c. 1800
Ruin and oblivion
Towards the end of his life Greuze, who had considerable wealth, loses it in risky ventures and through his wife’s ruinous spending; he is left almost in poverty, forgotten by contemporaries whose tastes had been taken over by Jacques-Louis David’s new painting.
1804
Returns to the Salon with Ariadne
At the Salon of 1804, when the Revolution had opened the doors of the Academy to all, Greuze exhibits Ariadne.
