- (subtitles) "Did you see her eyes? How they shine in the Parisian turmoil! They shine, as buttons on a uniform, like a police badge, like polished carriage lights. Oh, Paris"
To See Paris and to die! In the paintings of Jean Beraud is a lot of Paris. In them are lot of Paris and the life of Parisian society in the late nineteenth century.
The artist was fascinated by the café chantants where artists performed. He liked the atmosphere of celebration and unrestrained fun, the streets and squares filled with people and cabbies.

Jean Béraud is a French salon painter depicting the life of French society from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century.
He gained fame with numerous genre works depicting the life of day and night Paris and Parisian secular society, as well as paintings on gospel stories in a modern setting.
Beraud was the son of a French sculptor who took part in the construction of Saint Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg. He and his twin sister Melanie were born in Saint Petersburg in 1848. His father died when Jean was only four years old and the family moved to Paris. Beraud was educated as a lawyer.
Only at the age of twenty-two, Jean Bero decided to become an artist and began to study in drawing classes at the School of Fine Arts.
For two years, Jean attended the drawing classes of the famous portrait painter Leon Bonn.
This studio was home to many artists: here studied Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and even Prince Eugen, Duke of Närke - the fourth and youngest son of the Swedish king Oscar II and his wife Sofia.
Soon, Jean Beraud regularly began to exhibit his work at the Paris Salon.
Fame came to the artist in 1876.
This year, Beraud finds his way and begins to write genre paintings that reflect moments from the life of Paris and the people living here. In this case, the favorite tool in his paintings is the weather: wind and rain. They make people come to life, react to the world around them.
Beraud's studio was located in the artistic Mecca of Paris - in Montmartre. At different times, such masters as Monet, Renoir and Modigliani lived and worked on Montmartre. At the beginning of his career, Beraud wrote his work in accordance with the academic canons, but over the years, he was more and more inclined towards impressionism.
Beraud won fame as a salon artist, but this did not become worse. In the end, “Salon” is not an insult, but a direction in academic painting. The history of this direction begins with the Parisian salons, for which paintings of certain content were selected. These paintings were selecting by a special jury. These were easy-to-perceive pictures with a plot that was understandable to the public.
The salon style was based on the academic style: “the perfection of the drawing, the elegance of the lines, the fine elaboration of color, scrupulous detailing, and the “sublime” and understandable plot. The artist had to draw a spectacular composition skillfully on the canvas.
The public and critics received the first genre painting by Jean Beraud “Return from the Funeral” with great enthusiasm. She was exhibited in the salon in 1876.
The canvas depicts a group of people embraced by common sadness after a burial. This street scene marked the beginning of a series of numerous works with similar motives.
In 1887, at the age of 40, Jean Beraud became a knight, and in 1894 - an officer in the Legion of Honor.
In 1889, he was awarded the gold medal of the Society of French Artists, and the gold medal of the Paris World Exhibition.
His contemporaries, impressionist painters, did not receive such awards even in old age.
Beraud was the oldest friend for the writer Marcel Proust. Their friendship lasted for many years. In February 1897, Proust invited Beraud as a second in his duel with a poet, a novelist and a critic Jean Lorrain. The Duel took place in Meudon, a southwestern suburb of Paris.

Charmante.
Класс!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Notice how the the rich are portrayed as elegant and noble, tall and attractive, while the working class are portrayed as ugly, drunken and miserable. The artist knows who his audience is and gives them what they want. Art as propaganda.
the artist simply shows real life and does not embellish reality. working class are what they are. The artist does not squeeze a tear out of the viewer
