CATALOGUE NOTE
Charles Jacque moved from Paris to Barbizon with Jean-François Millet in 1849.
Although Jacque arrived in the rural village primarily as a printmaker and as a sometime
chronicler of peasant life, he developed into one of the principal animaliers of 19 th
century France, especially sought after for his depictions of sheep and lambs, with one
critic calling him the “Raphael of the sheep barn.” Interestingly, while not as well-known
today, during the 1860s Jacque’ international fame and financial success far exceeded
that of Millet or Rousseau.
Jacque’s paintings of shepherdesses sheltering their flocks in the shadow of the great
oaks of the Forest of Fontainebleau have become one of the trademark images of
Barbizon painting. In our work, a young shepherdess, staff in hand, guards a large flock
in what appears to be a beautiful spring day, judging from the verdant fields and
wildflowers. This was a labor usually relegated to young girls and here she is not only
the keeper of her flock, but also catches up on her knitting! This is a scene that Jacque
clearly observed as he walked the fields and forests around Barbizon.
Description:
Charles Émile Jacque (1813-1894) was a French painter and etcher known for his captivating rural and pastoral scenes. Born in Paris,
Jacque initially worked as an apprentice printer, but his passion for art led him to pursue a career as a painter.
Jacque's early influences were rooted in the Barbizon School, which emphasized a realistic and naturalistic approach to landscape
and rural subjects. He gained recognition for his skillful depiction of animals, particularly sheep and farm animals, which became
recurring motifs in his works.
One of Jacque's notable artworks is "Shepherdess and Her Flock." This painting showcases his expertise in portraying the rustic
charm of rural life. The scene depicts a shepherdess surrounded by her flock of sheep in a serene countryside setting. The artist
pays careful attention to the details of the landscape, the animals, and the shepherdess herself, creating a sense of harmony and
tranquility.
In "Shepherdess and Her Flock," Jacque captures the essence of pastoral life, highlighting the connection between humans and
nature. The painting exudes a sense of simplicity, evoking the peacefulness and harmony that can be found in rural settings.
Jacque's meticulous brushwork and mastery of light and shadow add depth and realism to the scene, immersing the viewer in the
idyllic countryside.
Throughout his career, Jacque's works received acclaim and were exhibited in prestigious galleries and salons. He became a
respected member of the French art community and earned numerous awards and honors. His influence extended beyond his
paintings, as he also worked as an art teacher and mentor to other artists.
Charles Émile Jacque's paintings, including "Shepherdess and Her Flock," continue to be admired for their evocative portrayal of
rural life and their skillful rendering of animals. His ability to capture the beauty and tranquility of nature in his artwork has secured
his place as one of the notable figures of the Barbizon School. Today, his paintings can be found in museums and private collections
worldwide, preserving his legacy as a master of pastoral and animal painting.

Eugene Alexis Girardet (1853-1907) was a prominent Swiss painter known for his remarkable attention to detail and his ability to capture vivid and dynamic scenes.

He represented Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, Renoir in his Paris, London and New York Galleries.
