While little was known to art historians about Jacques Linard in the early part of the last century, his work, like that of his contemporaries such as Louise Moillon and Sébastien Stoskopff, has been recently exonerated, recognising how the still-life in France, so long under the shadow of its Nordic counterparts at this point took on a stylistic independence. Previously considered to be an inferior art form to history painting, as well as the portrait, this genre nonetheless represented an important part of the artistic output in France at this time, allowing artists such as Linard to perfect their skills. Indeed, art historians have recently established a more substantial biography of the artist that recognises his rightful place, since we now know that when working in Paris, Jacques Linard received the title of painter and valet de chambre to the king in 1631, thus testifying to his fame and the esteem he aroused during his lifetime.
