RESTOUT, JEAN (16921768)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 201 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RESTOUT, JEAN (16921768) , French painter, born at Rouen on the 26th of
March
  1692, was the son of
Jean
  Restout, the first of that name, and of Marie M. Jouvenet,
sister
  and pupil of the well-known
Jean
  Jouvenet. In 1717, the Royal
Academy
  having elected him a member on his
work
  for the Grand Prix, he remained in Paris, instead of proceeding to Italy, exhibited at all the salons, and filled successively every post of academical distinction. He died on the 1st of January 1768. His works, chiefly altar-pieces (Louvre Museum), ceilings and designs for Gobelin tapestries, were engraved by Cochin, Drevet and others; his diploma picture may still be seen at St Cloud.
His son, JEAN
BERNARD
  RESTOUT (17321797), won the Grand Prix in 1758, and on his return from Italy was received into the
Academy
 ; but his refusal to comply with rules led to a quarrel with that
body
 . Roland appointed him keeper of the Garde Meuble, but this piece of favour nearly cost him his life during the Terror. The St Bruno painted by him at Rome is in the Louvre.
