Summary
Louis Galloche was a pupil of Louis de Boulongne and eventually became the last important upholder of the classicising traditions of Le Brun; by the time of his death Boucher was in the ascendent. His innovations included taking his pupils out in to the countryside to examine the effects of nature and this is reflected in his use of realistic figure types, fresh colours and harmonious lighting. He became Chancellor of the Academy in 1754. Dr. Colin Bailey has recently written in extenso on the subject and importance of Galloche, both as a painter in his own right and a teacher and leading influence on a whole generation of French painters, including François Lemoyne and Charles-Joseph Natoire and possibly Boucher.
