(3) Carle [Charles-André] Vanloo
(b Nice, 15 Feb 1705; d Paris, 15 July 1765). Painter, brother of (2) Jean-Baptiste van Loo. After his father’s death in 1712, he travelled to Turin to join his elder brother, (2) Jean-Baptiste van Loo, who took charge of his education. When they moved to Rome in 1714, Vanloo began formal studies with the painter Benedetto Lutti and the sculptor Pierre Legros le jeune. In 1719 the brothers moved to Paris, where the younger artist gained practical experience by assisting his brother on such commissions as the restoration of the Galerie François I at the château of Fontainebleau. He also studied at the Académie Royale, where he won first prize for drawing in 1723. The following year he was awarded the Prix de Rome, but the money that was to finance his studies in Italy was withheld, and he was forced to raise the necessary funds himself by painting society portraits and stage decorations for the opera in Paris. His few extant paintings from this period demonstrate, by their combination of Mannerist figural proportions with a fashionable Rococo palette, Vanloo’s ability to assimilate various stylistic influences (e.g. the Presentation in the Temple, 1728; Lyon Cathedral). In early 1728 he was at last able to set out for Rome, in the company of his nephews (4) Louis-Michel Vanloo and François van Loo, and of his friend and future rival François Boucher.
