Victor Chocqet
By Renoir

Victor Chocquet

Oil on canvas, 1876
47 x 37 cm (18 x 14 ins)

Victor Chocquet was a customs official and art-lover who championed the Impressionist art painters at a time when they had little public support.

He met Renoir at the unsuccessful Hotel Drouot exhibition in 1876 and first commissioned him to paint a portrait of his wife. This portrait of Chocquet was painted one year later.

In this portrait there is an evident rapport between artist and sitter whom Renoir shows as a sensitive, good humoured man. Renoir rarely went beyond depicting the surface appearance of his sitters, but in this, probably his finest male portrait, he seems to have captured the very essence of this far-seeing, passionate art lover.
