| Charles Joseph Natoire was an 18th century French rococo artist who mainly painted decorative studies for the French Crown, including religious and mythological scenes. He won the Prix de Rome in 1721 and studied in Rome for five years. He was later named Director of the French Academy in Rome, and during this time, almost completely stopped painting. |
