'''Jacques-Henri Sablet''', born [[1749]] in [[Lausanne]], died [[1803]] in [[Paris]], was a [[France|French]] [[painter]], part of a family of artists of [[Switzerland|Swiss]] origin.
'''Jacques Sablet''' (1749–1803) was a [[Switzerland|Swiss]] painter. Son of a decorator and gilder from [[Lausanne]], he studied with his father before moving to [[Paris]] in 1772; there he worked with [[Joseph-Marie Vien]] for three years. When in 1775 Vien was named director of the French Academy in [[Rome]], Sablet accompanied him there. His ambition was to be a [[history painting|history painter]], but facing competition from [[Jacques-Louis David]] and [[Pierre Peyron]], among others, and lacking solid academic training, he could win no commissions. Instead he turned to [[portrait]]ure, [[genre painting]], and [[landscape painting]]. Most of his genre scenes depicted the city's everyday life and customs of the [[Campagna]]. Sablet shared a studio with history painter [[Hubert Drouais]] and was friends with [[Simon Denis]]. He fled to [[Florence]] in 1793 with the rise of anti-French sentiment in the [[Papal States]], but perhaps because of the competition he would face there from [[Louis Gauffier]] he soon returned to Paris. He accompanied [[Lucien Bonaparte]] when the latter was named [[ambassador]] to [[Madrid]] in 1800, serving as an adviser on his art collection.▼
Jacques-Henri Sablet was the younger brother of [[Jean-François Sablet]] (1745-1819). They were sons of the painter and picture dealer [[Jacob Sablet]] (1720-1798). They both studied at the [[Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture]] in [[Paris]] as pupils of [[Joseph-Marie Vien]]. Jean-François studied at the Académie in 1768-1773 and Jacques-Henri in 1772-1775. Although their careers did not follow a similar course, the attribution of their works has frequently been confused.<ref>[http://www.wga.hu/bio_m/s/sablet/jean/biograph.html Web Gallery of Art, Biography Jean-François Sablet (b. 1745, Morges, Vaud, d. 1819, Nantes).]</ref>
