This period also saw the rise of the charming genre scenes and meticulous still lifes of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, offering a glimpse into everyday life with remarkable realism and warmth. Meanwhile, in Venice, artists like Canaletto captivated audiences with their detailed vedute (cityscapes), capturing the architectural splendor and vibrant life of the Grand Tour. Across Europe, portraiture continued to thrive, evolving with new expressions of character and status.
