Etienne Jeaurat - The Temptation Of Saint Anthony
Artist: Etienne Jeaurat
Etienne JEAURAT
Vermenton, 1699 - Versailles, 1789
La tentation de Saint Antoine
Huile on canvas
61 x 50 cm (70 x 59 cm with frame)
Signed and dated on the left "E. Jeaurat / p. 1776"
Very good condition
Old refinishing (1927)
Very fine frame, restoration period
Our painting recalls a very similar composition by Etienne Jeaurat, "Les Chartreux en méditation", which he exhibited at the Salon of 1759 and which is now conserved in the church of Saint Bernard de la Chapelle in Paris (close subject treated as a landscape with similar types of figures and elements that can be found directly, such as the architecture with cutaway panels, and plants with large leaves).
The subject here of the Temptation of Saint Anthony brings an added charm: the Saint is tempted by the Devil, who presents him with a young girl, adding a little genre scene to the composition. But at the same time, it's a lovely landscape, painted in beautiful green tones and with a wealth of details that are as much still life as Jeaurat's (here, in particular, the pig, the book, the cross, the trough and the plants).
