Still Life with Porcelain Teapot 1763

"Still Life with Porcelain Teapot" (1763) by Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin is a classic example of the French Rococo style. The painting depicts a simple arrangement of everyday objects, including a porcelain teapot, grapes, pomegranates, and two glasses of wine. Chardin's meticulous attention to detail and subtle use of light creates a sense of realism and tranquility, highlighting the beauty found in the ordinary. This still life, now housed in the Louvre, Paris, exemplifies Chardin's mastery of genre painting, a style that captured the attention of art enthusiasts during the 18th century.
