Madame Le Fèvre de Caumartin as Hebe
Justice punishing Injustice (1737)

Jean-Marc Nattier was a French Rococo painter who was known by his portraits of the ladies of King Louis XV’s court in classical mythological costumes. He was born in Paris on March 17, 1685, and died on November 7, 1766. He was first taught by his portraitist father- Marc Nattier and his history painter uncle- Jean Jouvenet. He painted a series painting of Marie de Médicis during his studied at Royal Academy in 1710 which made him became famous. One thing I like in his paintings is the rich colors especially in the “Madame Le Fèvre de Caumartin as Hebe”.
