Jean Raoux

Jean Raoux (1677 - 1734) was active/lived in France.  Jean Raoux is known for Portraits, vestals, and genre scenes.

Jean Raoux was a French artist who was a pupil of Jean Ranc in Montpellier and Bon Boullogne in Paris. He was admitted to the Royal Academy in 1717 as a history painter but it was his portraits, vestals, and genre scenes that made his reputation. Raoux tackled the theme of the young woman with a mirror on several occasions, varying the formats and the number of figures. 

The catalog of the Saint Sauveur sale, Paris, February 12, 1776, mentions a pair of paintings that could be identified with one of Raoux's works. The difference in size, however, does not allow for a definitive identification. In her unfinished catalog, Célia Alégret suggests that the format and size of the half-figures of natural size meant that these paintings were intended to be door tops and that the subject could be interpreted as an allegory of the view. Raoux flourished in the 18th century and is known for his portraits, vestals, and genre scenes.
