Biography
Known as "Parrocel des Batailles," Joseph Parrocel belongs to the last generation of seventeenth-century French painters. He deserves to be better known on the basis of his strong artistic qualities. A student of his brother, Louis Parrocel, Joseph spent eight years in Italy. Much of his time was spent in Venice, where he was affected by the works of Fetti, Strozzi, Tintoretto, as well as Johann Liss. Parrocel also knew Jacques Courtois, and Salvator Rosa. Parrocel's career was successful, and he was accepted into the Academy in 1676 with the work, Siege of Maastricht (Versailles, Musee National de Chateau de Versailles). A rival of Charles Le Brun, Parrocel was championed by Louvois, who helped him gain commissions to decorate the Invalides, Marly, and Versailles. Some of Parrocers military subjects depict the exploits of Louis XIV. His works can be seen as influences for later painters such as Delacroix. His son, Charles Parrocel (1688-175?), was his pupil and follower. Though Parrocel is being re-appreciated today, there remains no modern study.
