VIEN, JOSEPH MARIE (1716-1809)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 50 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VIEN, JOSEPH MARIE (1716-1809) , French painter, was born at Montpellier on the 18th of June 1716. Protected by Comte de Caylus, he entered at an early age the studio of Natoire, and obtained the grand prix in 1745. He used his time at Rome in applying to the study of nature and the development of his own powers all that he gleaned from the masterpieces around him; but his tendencies were so foreign to the reigning
taste
  that on his return to Paris he owed his admission to the
academy
  for his picture " Daedalus and Icarus " (Louvre) solely to the indignant protests of
Boucher
 . When in 1776, at the height of his established reputation, he became director of the school of France at Rome, he took
David
  with him amongst his pupils. After his return, five years later, his fortunes were wrecked by the Revolution; but he undauntedly set to
work
 , and at the age of eighty (1796) carried off the prize in an open government competition. Bonaparte acknowledged his merit by making him a senator. He died at Paris on the 27th of
March
  1809, leaving behind him several brilliant pupils, amongst whom were Vincent,
Regnault
 , Suvee, Menageot, Taillasson and others of high merit; nor should the name of his wife, Marie Therese Reboul (1728-1805), herself a member of the
academy
 , be omitted from this
list
 . Their son, Marie Joseph, born in 1761, also distinguished himself as a painter.
