与此同时，在Jean Baptiste Greuze的生活中
完整生平1750–1755
His first picture is taken for someone else’s work
A provincial who has settled in Paris at twenty-five, Greuze draws from the live model at the Royal Academy’s school without attracting his teachers’ attention; when he produces his first picture, The Father of a Family Explaining the Bible to His Children, its authorship is called into question.
1755
The Deceived Blind Man brings him into the Academy
Greuze exhibits The Deceived Blind Man; presented by the sculptor Pigalle, he is immediately accepted by the Academy as an agréé. He also enjoys the support of the well-known connoisseur La Live de Jully, brother-in-law of Madame d’Épinay.
1755–1757
To Italy with Abbé Gougenot
Towards the close of 1755 Greuze leaves for Italy with Abbé Louis Gougenot, a student of mythology and allegory whom the Academy elected an honorary member during the journey; he undertook it probably to silence those who taxed him with ignorance of great models of style. The trip did more harm than good: the Italian subjects that made up all his contributions to the Salon of 1757 showed he had been put on a false track, and he soon returned to the source of his first inspiration.
