Charles Joshua Chaplin was a French painter and printmaker who painted both landscapes and portraits. He worked in techniques such as pastels, litografia, watercolor, chalk, oil painting and etching. He was best known for his elegant portraits of young women.
Charles Joshua Chaplin was born on 8 juny 1825 in Les Andelys, Eure, França. La seva mare, Olympia Adelle Moisy, was French, whereas his father, John Chaplin, was an art broker from England. Charles Chaplin spent his whole life in France, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1886.
He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1840, and he took private lessons in the studio of Michel Martin Drolling, whose apprentices included Paul Baudry, Jules Breton and Jean-Jacques Henner. Later he also taught at the École des Beaux-Arts.
En 1845, he entered the Paris Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, as a portrait and landscape painter with the painting Portrait of the Artist’s Mother. Chaplin conducted art classes specifically for women at his studio, including Marie Joséphine Nicolas.
The American artist Mary Cassatt, the French artist Louise Abbéma and the English artist Louise Jopling were among Chaplin’s students. His son Arthur Chaplin was also a painter. Chaplin died on 30 Gener 1891 dins, aged 65, Paris as a wealthy man and is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery.
Chaplin made his debut at the Salon with portraits, but he also painted landscapes, particularly the countryside of Auvergne. His early works, des de 1848 a 1851, were painted in a manner characterized by an interest in realism, a style established in the French Second Republic, that had the motto Liberté, égalité, fraternité, and was ruled for three years by the republican government of France from the 1848 Revolution until the 1851 coup by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte.
Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s, after the 1848 Revolution.[5] Des de finals del segle XVIII, el romanticisme va dominar l'art i la literatura francesa, però va ser rebutjat pels realistes., que es va revoltar contra l'exhibició de les emocions del moviment romàntic, tractant de representar persones i situacions contemporànies reals i característiques amb veritat i precisió.
Chaplin va pintar moltes obres als seus inicis, incloent estudis florals que es van exposar al Saló de las Flores. Més tard, a finals de la dècada de 1850, va abandonar el naturalisme, el seu estil anterior, intercanviant-lo per un més elegant, tècnica elegant i flexible que li va donar una certa notorietat a França durant la seva etapa com a retratista; com a tal va abraçar l'estil idíl·lic i voluptuós i de moda del destacat pintor francès, Francois Boucher (1703–1770).
També va abraçar la tradició dels grans retratistes anglesos. He developed his very own style of painting but was inspired by the British painters Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. He used to engrave the works of the Dutch artist Pieter Paul Rubens and gained further influence from his work.
