Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686–1755) was a prominent French Rococo painter, engraver, and tapestry designer, renowned for his exquisite depictions of animals, hunting scenes, and still lifes. Born in Paris, Oudry was the son of a painter and art dealer, which provided him with early exposure to the world of art. He trained under the history painter Michel Serre and later under Nicolas de Largillière, a celebrated portraitist of the time. Oudry's talent quickly became evident, and he was admitted to the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1719.

Oudry's oeuvre is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant use of color, and lifelike representation of subjects. His works often featured animals in dynamic poses, capturing their essence with remarkable precision. This skill earned him the patronage of King Louis XV, who appointed him as the court painter and director of the royal tapestry works at Beauvais and later at Gobelins. Oudry's tapestries were highly sought after, and his designs were celebrated for their intricate compositions and rich textures.

One of Oudry's most significant contributions to art was his series of paintings and tapestries based on the fables of Jean de La Fontaine. These works not only showcased his technical prowess but also his ability to infuse narrative and moral lessons into his art. His collaboration with the Beauvais Tapestry Manufactory resulted in some of the most exquisite tapestries of the 18th century, which were admired for their elegance and sophistication.

In addition to his animal paintings and tapestries, Oudry also produced a number of still lifes, landscapes, and portraits. His still lifes, in particular, were noted for their realism and intricate detail, often featuring an array of objects such as fruits, flowers, and game. Oudry's ability to capture the texture and form of these objects with such precision made him one of the leading still-life painters of his time.

Jean-Baptiste Oudry's legacy endures through his contributions to the Rococo movement and his influence on subsequent generations of artists. His works are housed in major museums and collections around the world, continuing to be celebrated for their beauty, craftsmanship, and artistic innovation.
