A major work in the career of Jean Siméon Chardin since it enabled him, along with its counterpart Le Buffet (The Buffet), to become a member of the Académie de Peinture on 25 September 1728, La Raie (The Skate) is reinterpreted here by Gérard Titus-Carmel. His painter’s vision not only provides us with a better understanding of the creative process, but also leads us to a new way of reading the masterpiece.
