Jean Jacques Lagrenée nuorempi / den yngre / the Younger

Jean-Jacques Lagrenée the Younger wasn’t above a good scandal, he once got fined for painting a bishop as a half-dressed Bacchus in a Paris salon, so you know he had a taste for trouble. His mythological scenes are packed with bodies that feel like they’re mid-laugh, caught between a joke and a punchline. If you like your gods human-sized, look up Three Graces, it’s less marble statue, more party trick where everyone’s blushing.
