Format in-4°(33x25).Jean Siméon Chardin (1699-1779) est considéré comme l'un des plus grands peintres français et européens du XVIIIe siècle. Il est surtout reconnu pour ses natures mortes, ses peintures de genre et ses pastels.Georges Wildenstein commence par travailler dans la galerie fondée par son père, Nathan Wildenstein. S'intéressant aux peintres modernes, dont Picasso, ami de Claude Monet et Pierre Bonnard, son père lui achète un local au 21 rue de la Boétie. Il ouvre aussi une galerie à Londres, New Bond Street. Il dirige la Gazette des beaux-arts, revue fondée par Charles Blanc, et fonde la revue Arts. Spécialiste de la peinture française, il publie plusieurs ouvrages sur l'art français et établit notamment les catalogues raisonnés des oeuvres de Gauguin et de Chardin.Un texte, nourri de notes et enrichi d'un tableau chronologique, sur la vie et les caractéristiques de la peinture de Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin, ouvre le catalogue critique de son oeuvre. Le corpus proprement dit, classé en vingt-cinq rubriques aux titres évocateurs et précis — intérieurs de cuisine, celliers, buanderies, desserts avec brioches, singeries ... — , recense plus de mille deux cents tableaux, pour la plupart reproduits.

Jean Chardin 1643 – 1713 was a French jeweller and traveler whose ten-volume book The Travels of Sir John Chardin is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East in general. "Chardin’s massive work along with many other accounts of travel to exotic lands contributed to formation of one of the great streams of European knowledge leading to what Paul Hazard called "la crise de la conscience européenne" and hence to the Enlightenment. Some of his ideas for example on the influence of climate on man had a considerable impact and his work was read and commented on favorably by a number of great 18th-century figures like Charles-Louis de Montesquieu Edward Gibbon Voltaire Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Jones."
