"Monsieur le Doyen du Chapitre de Saint-Cloud" is a notable work by Louis Carrogis, commonly known as Carmontelle, an 18th-century French dramatist, painter, and creator of transparents, which were a form of illuminated viewing entertainment. Carmontelle is recognized for his portraiture and landscape work, often capturing the social figures of his time in a delicate and informal style that provides a window into the cultural life of the French elite during the Ancien Régime.

The painting "Monsieur le Doyen du Chapitre de Saint-Cloud" depicts the dean of the chapter of Saint-Cloud, a religious dignitary associated with the collegiate church in the town of Saint-Cloud, located near Paris. The work is executed in Carmontelle's characteristic style, which is marked by its light touch, attention to detail, and the use of watercolors. His portraits are often praised for their lively representation of the subject's character and the informal moments of French aristocratic life they capture.

As with many of Carmontelle's works, this painting is significant for its historical and artistic value, offering insights into the fashion, social structures, and personalities of the time. The identity of the dean portrayed in the painting, as well as the specific circumstances of the work's commission and creation, would provide additional context to the piece, but such details are not always well-documented for Carmontelle's subjects.

The painting is part of Carmontelle's broader oeuvre, which includes hundreds of portraits and landscape drawings, as well as his role as an entertainment organizer for the Duke of Orléans. His work is held in various museum collections and continues to be studied for its contribution to the understanding of 18th-century French society and culture. The "Monsieur le Doyen du Chapitre de Saint-Cloud" stands as a testament to Carmontelle's skill in portraiture and his intimate portrayal of the figures of his era.
