    Still-Life with Pipe an Jug c. 1737Musée du Louvre, ParisStrongly and consciously evocative of people are the still-lives of Chardin like the Pipe and Jug. Here it is the very essence of the objects that matters. For all Diderot’s praise, Chardin is not obsessed with surface appearances but with what lies beneath. Yet the objects themselves are deliberately homely; they are possible possessions for anyone and, like Chardin’s people, they suggest use. At their richest they are comparatively poor; the utensils are more often those of kitchen than dining-room; and they form in fact a logical extension of the lives that Chardin’s genre pictures depict.Web Gallery of Art
