Chardin, A Green Neck Duck with a Seville Orange, 1730
Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin was born on this date in 1699.
We have learned from Chardin that a pear is as living as a
woman, that an ordinary piece of pottery is as beautiful as a precious
stone. Everyday life will charm you once you have absorbed Chardin’s
painting for a few days like a lesson. Then, having understood the life of his
painting, you will have discovered the beauty of life.
Marcel Proust
