RAOUX, JEAN (1677-1734)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 898 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAOUX, JEAN (1677-1734) , French painter, was born at Montpellier in 1677. After the usual course of training he became a member of the
Academy
  in 1717 as an historical painter. His reputation had been previously established by the credit of decorations executed during his three years in Italy on the palace of Giustiniani Solini at Venice, and by some easel paintings, the Four Ages of Man (National Gallery), commissioned by the grand prior of Vendome. To this latter class of subject Raoux devoted himself, nor did he even paint portraits except in
character
 . The
list
  of his works is a
long
 
series
  of sets of the Seasons, of the
Hours
 , of the Elements, or of those scenes of amusement and gallantry in the representation of which he was immeasurably surpassed by his younger rival Watteau. After his stay in England (1720) he lived much in the Temple, where he decorated several rooms. He died in Paris in 1734. His best pupils were Chevalier and
Montdidier
 . His works, of which there is a poor specimen in the Louvre, were much engraved by Poilly, Moyreau, Dupuis, &c.
