让-西蒙·贝泰勒米

保守法国历史画家

让-西蒙·贝尔特莱米是一位法国历史画家，受委托为卢浮宫、卢森堡宫等建筑绘制寓言题材的天顶画，其风格属于保守的晚期巴洛克-洛可可风格，仅受到新古典主义的轻微影响。 贝泰勒米出生于埃纳省的拉昂，是雕塑家让-约瑟夫·贝泰勒米之子。他在皇家绘画与雕塑学院教授诺埃尔·哈勒的工作室接受训练，并在1760年代初露头角；在1763年获得第二名后，他于1767年赢得了学院的罗马大奖。他早期的一项委托是为沙隆-sur-马恩的香槟总督府创作一套装饰画，由建筑师让-加布里埃尔·勒让德指导，艺术家仅完成了六幅门楣画，风格深受弗朗索瓦·布歇影响，并将其余部分委托给学院的一位同门师弟完成。 贝泰勒米的老师哈勒为皇家戈布兰挂毯制造厂提供设计图样，他于1770年被任命为该厂总监；贝泰勒米也受邀为织工提供设计图样。他的《艾蒂安·马塞尔之死》（1783年，现陈列于外科学校）的油彩草图尚存，该作品被织入《法国历史》系列挂毯中。 Berthélemy was an esteemed painter in his day, chosen to join the entourage accompanying Napoleon's campaign in Italy, where he was among the experts assigned the task of selecting works of art to be transferred to Paris under terms of the Treaty of Tolentino, February 1797. He died in Paris. When two monographs on Berthélemy were published in 1979, Philip Conisbee, reviewing them in The Burlington Magazine, observed drily: "Two monographs on Berthélemy is overkill for a painter who could have been dispatched with a single substantial article. The French academic system of art education in the eighteenth century, backed up by the stimulus of church and state patronage, was so efficient and rigorous that even an average talent could be sufficiently conditioned to produce a handful of decent history-paintings, which are sometimes minor masterpieces."
