Jean-Baptiste Deshays, also known as Jean-Baptiste-Henri Deshays de Colleville, was an influential French painter born on June 15, 1729, in Colleville, Normandy, and died on February 10, 1765, in Paris. Deshays is recognized for his contributions to the Rococo movement, a style characterized by ornate detail, lightness, and elegance, which dominated French art in the early to mid-18th century. He was a prominent student of François Boucher, one of the leading Rococo painters, and his works often reflect the stylistic elements and thematic preferences of his mentor.

Deshays' artistic journey began under the tutelage of his father, who was also a painter. His early exposure to art and subsequent training under Boucher allowed him to develop a refined technique and a keen eye for composition. In 1751, Deshays won the prestigious Prix de Rome, which enabled him to study at the French Academy in Rome. This experience profoundly influenced his artistic development, exposing him to classical antiquity and the works of the Italian Renaissance masters.

Upon returning to France, Deshays quickly established himself as a notable artist. He was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1758, a testament to his skill and growing reputation. His oeuvre includes religious scenes, mythological subjects, and portraits, characterized by dynamic compositions, vibrant colors, and meticulous attention to detail. Some of his notable works include "The Martyrdom of Saint Andrew," "The Death of Saint Scholastica," and "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia."

Despite his relatively short life, Deshays left a significant mark on the French art scene. His works are celebrated for their emotional intensity and technical prowess, and they continue to be studied and admired for their contribution to the Rococo style. Deshays' legacy is preserved in various museums and collections, where his paintings offer a glimpse into the artistic trends and cultural milieu of 18th-century France.
