(3 March 1700 - 23 August 1777) was a French painter in the Rococo manner, a pupil of François Lemoyne and director of the French Academy in Rome, 1751-1775. Considered during his lifetime the equal of François Boucher, he played a prominent role in the artistic life of France. He is remembered above all for the series of the History of Psyche for Germain Boffrand's oval salon de la Princesse in the Hôtel de Soubise, Paris, and for the tapestry cartoons for the series of the History of Don Quixote, woven at the Beauvais tapestry manufacture, most of which are at the Château de Compiegne.   Related Paintings of Charles-Joseph Natoire :. | Portrait de l eveque Rousseau de La Parisiere | Le Triomphe d'Amphitrite. | Eine junge Frau mit Rosen | Eine junge Frau mit Rosen | Portrait of Louis Dauphin of France with a Plan of the Siege of Tournai |
