жан-жак башелье́ (1724 - 1806)
Jean-Jacques Bachelier was a French painter and innovator of porcelain and a member of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.
Originally a still-life painter, he later became world-renowned for his significant contributions to applied art. In 1765, Bachelier founded an art and crafts school in Paris with his own funds. He was in charge of the painters at the porcelain manufactory in Vincennes, where figures were produced from unglazed porcelain - biscuit. For many years Bachelier was the Director of Sevres porcelain manufactory and in fact became the creator of the Sevres style.
Bachelier also conducted research on encaustic painting (a painting technique in which the binding substance of paints is wax) and published works on art education.
