Jérôme-François Chantereau, a French painter, engraver, and art dealer [1] [2] who was born in Paris about 1710. Chantereau was a member of the Académie de Saint-Luc, and in his youth became a court painter to the King of Denmark. [2]
His works were chiefly battle-pieces and hunting-scenes, painted with considerable life and movement. They recall Jean-Antoine Watteau's. [2] In fact, it is probable that he studied under Watteau or Pater. A scarce etching of his exists, entitled, Divertissement par eau et par mer, or, as it is sometimes called, L'lle de Cythère. Chantereau was also an art dealer. [2]
During a dinner in Paris on April 16, 1741, Chantereau had an altercation with his friend (or possibly his rival), [2] fellow art dealer and art restorer Joseph Ferdinand Godefroid over the attribution of a 17th-century painting to Carlo Maratta. The two wound up fighting with swords in a duel just outside the gates of the Louvre. Godefroid was pierced in the ribs and died on the spot, on the Cour Carrée, [3] or in a nearby church. [2] Chantereau was acquitted, as it was impossible to determine who started the fight. [3]
He died in 1757. [1]
