The second installment in the "Discover" series delves into the lesser-known masterpiece The Lavergne Family Breakfast (1754) by the renowned artist Jean-Etienne Liotard. Acquired by the National Gallery in 2019, this vibrant pastel painting holds immense significance as one of the gallery's most prized eighteenth-century artworks and stands as one of the artist's grandest and most ambitious creations. Originally showcased in 1755, when Liotard transported the fragile pastel from Lyon to London (a remarkable feat considering the medium's delicate nature), it has remained largely unseen by the public since then. This comprehensive catalogue takes a deep dive into the world of pastels, exploring Liotard's itinerant career and the narratives behind the objects he depicts. By placing Liotard and The Lavergne Family Breakfast in the spotlight, this beautifully illustrated publication offers readers a fresh perspective on the eighteenth century and serves as an accessible introduction to a particularly unique and talented artist.
