讓-西蒙·貝泰勒米

保守法國歷史畫家

讓-西蒙·貝爾特萊米是一位法國歷史畫家，受委託為盧浮宮、盧森堡宮等建築繪製寓言題材的天頂畫，其風格屬於保守的晚期巴洛克-洛可可風格，僅受到新古典主義的輕微影響。 貝泰勒米出生於埃納省的拉昂，是雕塑家讓-約瑟夫·貝泰勒米之子。他在皇家繪畫與雕塑學院教授諾埃爾·哈勒的工作室接受訓練，並在1760年代初露頭角；在1763年獲得第二名後，他於1767年贏得了學院的羅馬大獎。他早期的一項委託是為沙隆-sur-馬恩的香檳總督府創作一套裝飾畫，由建築師讓-加布里埃爾·勒讓德指導，藝術家僅完成了六幅門楣畫，風格深受弗朗索瓦·布歇影響，並將其餘部分委託給學院的一位同門師弟完成。 貝泰勒米的老師哈勒為皇家戈布蘭掛毯製造廠提供設計圖樣，他於1770年被任命為該廠總監；貝泰勒米也受邀為織工提供設計圖樣。他的《艾蒂安·馬塞爾之死》（1783年，現陳列於外科學校）的油彩草圖尚存，該作品被織入《法國歷史》系列掛毯中。 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."
