Jean-Baptiste Greuze was a French painter who became especially famous for his portraits, genre and history paintings. Since his father was initially against an artistic education, Greuze had to educate himself mainly autodidactically at first. The portrait painter Grandon, who was famous at the time, became aware of Greuze's talent and was finally able to change his father's mind. So the boy was allowed to move with him to Lyon as Grandon's pupil. Later, on his recommendation, he went to the art academy in Paris at the age of 25. During his time at the academy Greuze hardly managed to attract the attention of his teachers and his paintings were only moderately successful at first. One of his better known early works was "Familienvater den Kindern die Bibel auslegend". To deepen his studies and to prove himself to his critics, Greuze set off for Italy together with the painter Abbé Louis Gougenot. For Gougenot the trip was to be a complete success. Greuze could not shine in comparison. He himself found the stays in Rome and Florence uninteresting.
Greue's relationship with the art academy was generally difficult. He exhibited several times both in the Paris Salon and at the Academy with increasing success. Arriving at the height of his career in 1765, he exhibited 13 works simultaneously, including "La Bonne Mère" and "La Malediction Paternelle". He always ignored the request of the academy to finally submit a trial work. The Academy reacted by banning him from exhibiting until he fulfilled the request. Greuze always wanted to be recognized as a history painter. However, the Academy only honored him as a genre painter, because in their opinion historical motifs were not his paradise discipline. This enraged Greuze so much that he refused to exhibit there for many years.
Greuse's paintings were among the most expensive in France between the 1760s and 70s. But the extravagant lifestyle, the embezzlement by his later ex-wife and the speculation with assignees left him nothing in the end. In the last years of his life he had to keep his head above water as an art teacher. His most famous student was Constance Mayer. But in the end she left him for his biggest competitor Pierre Paul Prud‘hon.
