Girai(do}t CHARDIN 141 that he had a chance of success, but nevertheless he decided to send in his application. On the day upon which he had to present himself, he arranged a number of his pictures in a room through which the judges would pass. The academicians arrived one after the other, and all stopped to look at Chardin's pictures. Lar- gilliere was particularly impressed, and turning to Chardin, who was standing near, said to him, "You have some very beautiful pictures. They are certainly ...by a very good Flemish painter, and the Flemish is an excellent school for colour. But now let us see your own pictures. " " You have just been looking at them, " said Chardin. " What ! those are yours ? " cried the astonished Largilliere. " Yes, sir. " " Well, come along, my friend ; you had better present yourself, for you will certainly be elected. " Cazes, the first master of Chardin, arrived shortly afterwards and fell into the same error as Largil- liere. He had never been too pleased with his pupil ; it might be that Chardin had not been sufficiently docile and willing to follow in the path which he (his master) had mapped out for him, but he recognised the merits of his achieve- ments, and even went so far as to offer to present him to the Academy.
