J. J. Grandville Art
French, 1803-1847
Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard, generally known by the pseudonym of Jean-Jacques or J. J. Grandville, was a French caricaturist.
Grandville received his first instruction in drawing from his father, a painter of miniatures. At the age of twenty-one he moved to Paris, and soon afterward published a collection of lithographs entitled Les Tribulations de la petite proprieté. He followed this with Les Plaisirs de tout âge and La Sibylle des salons (1827); but the work which first established his fame was Les Métamorphoses du jour (1828–29), a series of seventy scenes in which individuals with the bodies of men and faces of animals are made to play a human comedy. These drawings are remarkable for the extraordinary skill with which human characteristics are represented in animal facial features.
After the reinstitution of prior censorship of caricature in 1835, Grandville turned almost exclusively to book illustration, supplying illustrations for various standard works, such as the songs of Béranger, the fables of La Fontaine, Don Quixote, Gulliver's Travels, Robinson Crusoe. He also continued to issue various lithographic collections.
Though the designs of Grandville are occasionally unnatural and absurd, they usually display keen analysis of character and marvelous inventive ingenuity, and his humor is always tempered and refined by delicacy of sentiment and a vein of sober thoughtfulness.

- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a Chanel J12 is real, first look at the face. If it says "automatic," but you hear the second hand ticking, the timepiece is likely a fake. You can also turn the timepiece over and examine the back of the case. Authentic watches will have the serial number but not the style and reference numbers. To be absolutely sure, however, it is recommended that you work with a professional appraiser or watch expert to help determine the authenticity of a given Chanel watch. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chanel watches from vetted sellers.
