He was born in Paris, France on March 17, 1686 and died on April 30, 1755 in Beauvais, France. He was a French Rococo painter and specialized in painting animals. Oudry first studied portrait painting with Nicolas de Largillière. And later met Jean-Baptiste Massé. Through Massé, he made many connections and one that made his reputation, Louis XV.

The media used is oil on canvas. The size 97.8 cm x 131.5 cm ( 38 ½ in x 51 ¾ in.) In this painting, there are two dogs Misse, the white dog and Luttine, the black furred dog. Here we can see Oudry’s love for animals. He painted this for Louis XV. In this painting these two dogs are probably playing with each other in an outside environment and their names are under each dog. Oudry uses elements of art such as texture and shape. The dog's fur are depicted by soft lines used by Oudry. He also uses shape to show objects and represent what they are. For example, in this painting, we can see that the pillar behind these two dogs are made up of a cube and a cylinder on top to show that it is a pillar. Oudry also uses principles of art such as proportion and emphasis. Here, we can see that both dogs are about the same size to show than either of them are the weak or stronger one. He also uses emphasis on the dogs to show that this painting only focuses on the dogs and the background objects are not as emphasized because of their size or positioning in this

Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most famous painters of all time. His style was post-impressionism. He was a Dutch man, born in an averaged sized town called Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. The reason he became an artist, and the thing that influenced him the most to become an artist was actually his mother. His mother was interested in nature, she did a lot of drawing and watercolors and that really influenced her son heavily and got him into art. When he was fifteen years old, his family was really struggling with their finances. Because of this, he was forced to get a job and help them provide.

Henri Rousseau, born in May 21, 1844, was a self-taught artist who started his artistic career when he was forty. He began his life working as a clerk, then he joined the French army after being accused of stealing money from his employer. He later moved to Paris and obtained a job working for the French Customs Office, and it was there that he began painting part-time. It was really this background of his that allowed his paintings to be original and uninfluenced by traditional painting techniques. Since he was a self-taught artist and had no significant experience with painting, he had the freedom to paint as he perceived and as he imagined. Henri Rousseau was a man who liked to exaggerate his life to make himself seem adventurous and exciting. He made up stories about his time in the military and overstated his importance in the Customs office where he worked. This was also reflected in his artwork where manipulated the painting to emphasize beauty and excitement.
On the foreground, the painting captures two dwarfs. The adult dwarf is Maribárbola while the midget is the daughter Nicolás Pertusato (Umberger 97). Nicolás has her foot on the back of the dog, which appears unperturbed despite the presence of human foot on its back.

The effect that forms are that of biometric feel beside the people they have more of geometric feel. The colors do impact this artwork greatly because each color is harsh and sot of clash with one another. The colors are black, gold, red, brown, white and light blue. The colors are mixed. The color on the mother's dress is a harsh black versus that of her children which are every light and airy. The hue of the piece of art is very light in some spaces but in other places it can be very dark. The saturation is very different in many places if you look at the woman's dress and in the dog, you can see that it is very saturated but if you look at the two girl's dresses you can tell that its less saturated.

The shapes of the figures are sharply defined and the objects such as the table, book, and string instruments. There are diagonal rhythms throughout the painting in which it creates movement. The light source in the upper left allows the source light to have a more natural appearance throughout the painting. The shadows at the right-hand corner and the men wearing green in the middle contrast the main object with the most sources of lighting. The objects shadows and lighting create dimension and a vivid sense of more contrast. There are areas in the making with more contrast and the sharp contrast that creates movement in the painting. The shadows and the lighting throughout the painting show gradations and the highlights create more depth. Staring from the upper-left hand corner with the first figure of a gentleman wearing a hue of blue and yellow, the left side of his face and garment shows the source light in right above him.

The art and beauty in this painting is exemplified through the eyes of Boucher. It starts with a beautiful couple taking a rest after picking up some followers. Their clothing looks very elegant and colorful which shows that they are aristocrats. The man’s eyes are gazing at a shepherdess who gathered her own flowers. Their eyes are locked despite the man having his own woman right in front of him. The light brushstrokes of the dresses, flowers, and trees
When at the Legion of Honor, we as a group came across a painting known as “The Pâté” which was completed by French artist John Baptiste Oudry in 1743. Some quick dimensions of the painting include, 69 3/4 x 49 (177.2 x 124.5 cm) being a rather average size painting in that century in that geographical location. The artist John Baptiste Oudry was a well known Rococo painter, tapestry designer as well as illustrator. Most of his praised work was centered around hunted game or animals in well forested landscapes. He attended the French Royal academy and towards the later end of his life was made head of the Beauvais tapestry. The painting which is a trompe-l 'œil, which literally translates to “fools the eye” was made during a time of economic and cultural prosperity in France and most parts of Europe. Under the reign of Louis XV we see acquisition of new land by France and relative economic strength at the populous level. This is also a times of artistic prosperity and freedom with the vast amount of academies and schools available to the population (nominally the rich, educated, particularly skilled). However, the only evidence of societal influence we see in this art piece is the French Royal insignia, on the mixing bowl that symbolizes French society and strength

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced.
