Jean-Baptiste Mallet
French, 1759–1835
Jean-Baptiste Mallet was a French Baroque artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art. Jean-Baptiste Mallet was born in Grasse.
This French painter, active around 1759 to 1835, made smooth, story-like oils of gods and everyday scenes. See his Venus and a Sleeping Cupid, where the goddess hovers over a slumbering child draped in rose petals, and Young Woman Kneeling Before a Priest, a quiet moment of devotion painted in muted golds and grays. Tap Venus and a Sleeping Cupid to zoom in on the rosy glow around the pair.
