Jean-Charles Tardieu , also known as Tardieu-Cochin (born September 3, 1765 in Paris , † April 3, 1830 ibid) was a French history and genre painter . The epithet is explained by the relationship between his grandmother Marie-Anne Horthemels and the painter Charles-Nicolas Cochin .

Act

Jean-Charles Tardieu was born into an art-loving family. His father was Jacques Nicolas Tardieu and his mother was Claire Tournay . He was a student of Jean-Baptiste Regnault and became a painter instead of a copperplate engraver . Although his ability was attested, the big breakthrough did not materialize. In 1790 he achieved, only this once, his best result in the big painting competition, a second place. Nevertheless, his works can be found in the collections of Luxembourg and Versailles , as well as in museums in Rouen and Besançon . Several churches were also decorated with pictures of him.

How Jean-Charles Tardieu ended up in Rouen is not known. In any case, his son Jules-Romain was born there in 1805. In 1822 he returned to Paris.
