It seems that the Academy always privileged history scenes, landscapes and portraits over still lifes, genre scenes and toiling workers. What a shame for Chardin. In the Netherlands, somewhat earlier, Chardin’s carefully constructed still-lifes would have been hugely celebrated. The objects might have been humble but they were beautifully treated.
