Jean Beraud (1849-1936) was a renowned French painter who captured the essence of Parisian life in his vibrant and detailed artworks. His diverse range of subjects, from portraits to street scenes, showcased his exceptional talent and ability to depict the beauty and energy of the city. In "Les Patineuses (The Skaters), c. 1890, " Beraud skillfully portrays a group of ice skaters gliding across a frozen pond, their graceful movements illuminated by soft winter light. The painting exudes a sense of joy and freedom, capturing the exhilaration that comes with embracing the cold. "La salle de jeux du casino, 1889" transports us into an opulent casino hall filled with elegantly dressed men and women engrossed in games of chance. Beraud's attention to detail is evident as he captures every flicker of excitement on their faces, making us feel like we are partaking in this thrilling atmosphere ourselves. Beraud's portrait work is equally captivating. In "Portrait of Ernest Renan (1823-1892), 1889, " he depicts the esteemed philosopher with great reverence and depth. Every line etched on Renan's face tells a story, revealing his wisdom and intellectual prowess. Another notable portrait is "Portrait of Madame Blanche Vesnitch (nee Ulman), 1913. " Here, Beraud captures her elegance and poise through delicate brushstrokes that highlight her refined features, and is as if she steps out from the canvas, radiating gracefulness. Beraud also had an eye for capturing everyday moments in Parisian life. In "Le salon de la comtesse Potocka, 1887, " he invites us into an intimate gathering at Countess Potocka's salon where guests engage in lively conversations amidst lavish surroundings.
