The artist

Joseph Chinard

Joseph Chinard: A Neoclassical Sculptor Bridging Naturalism and Sentiment

Early Life and Training (1756-1784): Joseph Chinard was born in Lyon, France, in 1756. His artistic journey began with training as a painter at the government-supported École Royale de Dessin in Lyon. He subsequently studied sculpture locally before attracting the patronage of a benefactor who facilitated his travel to Rome in 1784.
Roman Period and Early Recognition (1784-1792): Chinard's time in Rome proved pivotal. He diligently produced copies of classical antiquities, demonstrating his burgeoning skill and appreciation for the Roman artistic heritage. His participation in the Accademia di San Luca resulted in a prestigious prize – a terracotta sculpture of Perseus and Andromeda, which remains within their collection. This achievement marked him as an exceptional talent, particularly noteworthy for a non-Italian artist.
Revolutionary Turmoil and Return to Dijon (1791-1800): Chinard's second sojourn in Rome coincided with the French Revolution. His revolutionary sympathies led to his temporary internment in Castel Sant’Angelo in 1791 due to concerns over a terracotta model for a candelabrum base depicting Apollo trampling superstition – an act deemed subversive by authorities. Following his release and expulsion from Rome in December 1792, he settled in Dijon.
Salon Exhibitions and Portraiture (1800-1813): Chinard gained further recognition through exhibitions at the Salon. His marble bust of Madame de Verninac was first displayed in plaster at the 1800 Salon, followed by a marble version in 1808. Notably, he sculpted a bust of Juliette Récamier, now held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, which achieved considerable fame and was reproduced in marble. While primarily based between Lyon and Italy, Chinard occasionally visited Paris to showcase his work.
Style, Influences, and Legacy: Chinard’s style is characterized by a neoclassical foundation infused with naturalism and sentiment. His Roman experiences profoundly influenced his artistic vision, evident in the classical motifs and forms present in his sculptures. However, he distinguished himself through an ability to imbue his works with emotional depth and realistic detail, moving beyond mere imitation of antiquity. His terracotta family allegories, adapting funeral monument conventions, presented intimate portrayals of familial affection. Though much of his public sculpture in Lyon was lost during the Revolution, interest in Chinard was revived with a retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (1909-10). His works can be found in prominent collections including the Louvre, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art.
