Paul Charles Chocarne-Moreau
Paul Charles Chocarne-Moreau (born October 31, 1855 in Dijon , † May 5, 1930 in Neuilly-sur-Seine ) was a French genre painter.
Paul Chocarne was born into a family of artists. He was the cousin of the sculptor Mathurin Moreau . Paul Chocarne studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris with Tony Robert-Fleury and William Bouguereau .
He made his debut in 1882 in the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français and from that date exhibited there fairly regularly under the name Paul Chocarne-Moreau. In 1900 he received a 2nd class medal. He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1906 .
Chocarne-Moreau specialized in genre painting. Almost all of his pictures showed comical scenes from everyday life on the streets of Paris with always the same characters: young apprentice confectioners, chimney sweeps, acolytes, dirty street boys and school children. Adults rarely appeared, then mostly clergy.
