Jean-Pierre Norblin de La Gourdaine (

caricaturist. Born in France, from 1774 to 1796 he resided in Poland.[1]

He is considered one of the most important painters of the

fêtes galantes and fêtes champêtres with a panorama of daily life and current political events, captured with journalistic accuracy. He created a gallery of portraits of representatives of all social classes in the last years of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
.

Life

Born in Misy-sur-Yonne in 1745, Norblin started his career in France, in the early 1760s (his first known works date to 1763). Later he became influenced by Rembrandt and Watteau. Around 1763 he trained in the studio of Parisian painter

Radziwiłł family in Arkadia (Nieborów) and for King Stanisław August Poniatowski
.

National Museum in Warsaw

He settled in Warsaw and this move allowed him to witness and illustrate many important historical moments of the last years of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. His hurriedly sketched drawings illustrated the passing of the

Massacre of Praga. After his return to France in 1804 he still continued to paint based on some of his Poland-era drafts, but he also illustrated other contemporary events, among them the times of the Napoleon's wars. He died in Paris
in 1830.

Norblin's students in Poland included

Rembrand.[3]

Jean-Pierre Norblin de La Gourdaine was the great-grandfather of an equally accomplished artist, Stefan Norblin (full name: Juliusz Stefan Norblin de la Gourdaine; Warsaw, 29 June 1892 – 12 August 1952, San Francisco, California). The paintings of Stefan Norblin, who worked in Poland, India (during World War II) and the United States, were rediscovered in the 1990s in India, where they decorate maharajas' palaces, e.g., in Rajasthan. One of many post war exhibition of his works took place at the Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola, 3 September – 9 October 2011.[4]
