Jean-Baptiste Oudry was a French rococo painter, engraver and tapestry designer. Oudry came from a family of artists and began his training as a painter at a young age. His father Jacques Oudry was a painter, art dealer and from 1706 director of the Académie Saint Luc. Along with the Académie Royale, it was one of the most renowned and influential art schools in the country. Oudry probably learned the first techniques from his father before he attended courses at the Academies Saint Luc and Royale. Between 1704 and 1707 he was trained by Michel Serre, a relative of Hyacinthe Raugaud. Oudry then went on to study under Nicolas de Largillierre, Raugaud's greatest rival and one of the most respected portraitists in Parisian society. At the age of 22 Oudry was officially accepted as a member of the Académie Saint Luc.
Although Oudry's education focused on portraiture, he had a greater interest in animal paintings and still lifes from the beginning, in the style of the Dutch painters Frans Snyders or Jan Fyt. Through his painter friend Jean-Baptiste Massé, he met the Marquis of Beringhen, who commissioned him with some paintings. The Marquis was so pleased that shortly afterwards he recommended Oudry to King Louis XV. For the painting Oudry painted in 1730 "King Louis XV hunting a deer in the forest of Saint-Germain". After that Oudry produced many more hunting scenes or painted his beloved hunting dogs. Internationally Oudry's reputation soon got around and he had many admirers and clients like the Tsar of Russia, the Swedish or the Danish royal house. His biggest client outside France was Christian Ludwig II. of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Among other things he ordered a series of life-size paintings of the animals from the zoo in Versailles. Despite the many orders from abroad, Oudry preferred to stay in France.
At the age of 23 Oudry married Marie-Marguerite Froissé, the daughter of a mirror-maker. He probably met her when he taught her father how to paint. Marie-Marguerite was also interested in art and took lessons from her husband. The couple had 13 children, but only 5 of them reached adulthood. Oudry suffered 2 strokes in quick succession. He never recovered from the last one and remained paralyzed on one side. His probably most famous work today, "The White Duck", was reported stolen in the 1990s. Oudry was not only a talented painter, but from the mid-1720s onwards he was very successful in designing tapestries, of which "Les Amusements Champêtres" was particularly successful.
