The life of paul charles chocarne-moreau

Biography of Paul Chocarne-Moreau ( )

A genre painter, Paul Chocarne-Moreau was born in Dijon, in the Burgundy region of France in Paul Chocarne-Moreau studied at the Fine-Arts Academy in Paris under the direction of William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury, both very famous artists who eventually became President of the Société des Artistes Français. A very skilled portrait artist, he soon decided to depict mainly playful children, even though Paul Chocarne-Moreau represented them mostly while at work, in the streets of Paris.

Indeed, with the birth of industrialized countries in Europe, the 19th Century  saw a  growing interest in the working-class children and the hardship of their life, which was expressed through art and in litterature. Chocarne Moreau used the children as the main theme of his paintings but, rather than representing the often sorrowful nature of their life, he  chose to treat the subject in a humorous and anecdotal manner.
