JEAN MICHELIN. The Baker's Cart

The Baker's Cart. Artist: Jean Michelin (French, ca. 1616-1670). Dimensions: 38 3/4 x 49 3/8 in. (98.4 x 125.4 cm). Date: 1656.
Although depictions of peasants and popular life in rural settings were common in the mid-17th century, Michelin situates his subjects in an urban context.  The baker and his cart are prominent but the artist also presents others who sold their wares in the streets of Paris, such as the old woman offering medicinal eau-de-vie and the boy with a large basket on his back.  Little is known about Michelin but this painting has served as a fixed point in defining his oeuvre since his signature and a date were discovered during a cleaning of this canvas in the late 1920s.

Traduction automatique: La charrette du boulanger. Artiste : Jean Michelin (Français, ca. 1616-1670). Dimensions : 38 3/4 x 49 3/8 po. (98,4 x 125,4 cm). Date : 1656. Bien que les représentations de paysans et de la vie populaire en milieu rural soient courantes au milieu du XVIIe siècle, Michelin situe ses sujets dans un contexte urbain. Le boulanger et sa charrette sont importants mais l'artiste en présente également d'autres qui vendaient leurs marchandises dans les rues de Paris, comme la vieille femme offrant de l'eau-de-vie médicinale et le garçon avec un grand panier sur le dos. On sait peu de choses sur Michelin mais ce tableau a servi de point fixe dans la définition de son ?uvre depuis que sa signature et une date ont été découvertes lors d'un nettoyage de cette toile à la fin des années 1920.
