This table XVIIth century, around 1680, is a charming young lady of quality, it is capped at Fontange with two eye-hearts, very red lips, respecting the codes and the fashion of his time. She is wearing a gray satin pearl fully embroidered with gold son. In a valuable gesture she staple a blue velvet stole. Pierre Mignard, French classical painter of the seventeenth century, is best known for his portraits of the royal family or of his contemporaries. His reputation began during a trip to Rome in the early 1650s In 1657, Louis XIV invited him to Paris to work for the Court, and a step in Avignon saw his first meeting with Molière. He settled there a strong friendship and the painter became one of the few close to the actor outside his company. In 1664 Mignard performed the frescoes of the church of Val de Grace in Paris, Molière wrote in a eulogy published in 1669. Although he received royal approval, Mignard refused repeatedly to enter the Academy Royal painting and sculpture. It nevertheless became its director in 1690. Admired in the seventeenth, considered a model in the eighteenth, it will be forgotten or denigrated in the history of art from the nineteenth century. Born there is a little more than 400 years, it is interesting to rediscover this talented artist. Tiny old restorations, very good condition! https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/pierre-mignard-1612-1695--louis-xiv-period-workshop--4094 1 / 2 anticSwiss 01/10/2021 06:48:50 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Important frame of 104 cm by 87 cm Our painting is a revisited version of the painting of Pierre Mignard exposed to Versailles. Our Madame de Ludres is depicted here repentant, she cries and especially unlike the portrait of Mignard her hair completely covers his chest. Also note the absence of the skull in our table. Madame de Ludres, Canoness of Pousse (1647-1726) Marie-Elisabeth (known as Isabelle), Marquise de Ludres, born in 1647 in Ludres in Lorraine, and died in 1726 in Nancy, is a mistress of King Louis XIV, rival of Madame of Montespan. Pierre Mignard (1612-1695) Born in Troyes, Pierre Mignard apprenticed in Bourges, from 1622, to the painter of altar paintings Jean Boucher, then to Paris at Simon Vouet's. These two painters, who had formerly made the trip to Italy, perhaps communicated to Mignard the desire for a trip beyond the mountains, a rule for the artists of the generation of 1590, abandoned by the artists of his generation (Philippe de Champaigne, La Hyre). From his long stay in Italy, mainly in Rome, from 1634-1635 to 1657 (he made a trip to Parma, Modena and Venice in 1654-1655), we know very little about it; if the artist is strongly Romanized, he still befriends the painter and theorist Charles-Alphonse Du Fresnoy, author of De arte grafica.

"Assomption", tableau signé/daté N. MIGNARD INVENTOR PINXIT. AN 1633. Chœur de la cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms, Avignon, Vaucluse. Nicolas Mignard Autoportrait Huile sur toile H : 67 cm ; L : 53 cm Musée Calvet - Avignon L’identité du modèle a pu être établie par comparaison avec un Portrait de Nicolas Mignard par son fils Paul (1641-1691), conservé au musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. Nicolas Mignard, dit Mignard d'Avignon, baptisé le 7 février 1606 à l'église Sainte-Madeleine de Troyes en Champagne, mort à Paris le 20 mai 1668, est un peintre baroque et graveur français. Frère de Pierre Mignard dit "Mignard le Romain", et père de Pierre II Mignard, dit "le chevalier Mignard" et de Paul Mignard, il est le fils d'une famille d’artisans : chapelier, passementier et bonnetier. Après des études d'art dans sa ville natale, il se rend à Fontainebleau où le château attire et retient de nombreux peintres distingués, avant de s’installer à Paris, où il aura pour maître Simon Vouet (1590-1649 infos), le peintre le plus important du règne de Louis XIII, revenu de Rome après y être resté 15 ans. Puis c’est à Lyon qu’il s’installe quelques temps avant de rejoindre, vers 1633, Avignon*, où il va passer une grande partie de son existence. * ce choix d’Avignon et de la Provence avait déjà été celui d’artistes peintres troyens, comme Jacques Macadré, venus s’installer à Aix après avoir été jetés sur les routes par la récession économique de la capitale de la Champagne, de 1575 environ à 1626 ("La peinture à Troyes au XVIe siècle", maîtrise de Monique Barbier).

Molière-Avignon Et Les Mignard
Georges Forestier Molière l’Avignonnais et ses amis, Mignard d’Avignon et Mignard le Romain Paru dans Cahiers Jean Vilar, n°118, 2015, p. 4-9. Sept cités grecques se sont disputé l’honneur d’avoir donné naissance à Homère. Une bonne vingtaine de villes françaises disposées le long d’un arc descendant de Nantes à Toulouse et remontant de Carcassonne à Dijon, en passant par la vallée du Rhône peuvent se vanter d’avoir accueilli Molière durant les douze années que dura son activité de comédien dans la moitié sud de la France (1646-1658). L’une d’elles, Pézenas, joli bourg endormi doté de peu d’atouts touristiques, a pris les devants en se proclamant dès le XIXe siècle patrie d’adoption de Molière, allant jusqu’à dénicher un vieux fauteuil présenté comme celui dans lequel il se serait assis toutes les fois qu’il allait chez le barbier ; les légendes locales le montrent même observant le monde autour de lui et faisant des lectures de pièces qu’en fait il écrivit quinze ans plus tard. Il est vrai que Molière et sa troupe séjournèrent à deux reprises plusieurs mois à Pézenas où se tinrent deux longues sessions des États généraux du Languedoc au tournant de 1650-1651 et de 1655-1656 et qu’ils passèrent quelques semaines à l’automne 1653 tout à côté, dans le joli petit château de La-Grange-des-Prés du prince de Conti. Il n’en reste pas moins que Pézenas y est allé au culot afin d’attirer l’attention sur elle, et que les deux cités qui pourraient se prétendre à bon droit « patrie d’adoption de Molière » du fait de la régularité avec laquelle sa troupe y séjourna sont Lyon et Avignon, deux villes, il est vrai, qui n’ont pas besoin d’entonner les trompettes de la renommée moliéresque pour exister.

Exhibition Checklist Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis Xiv
EXHIBITION CHECKLIST WOVEN GOLD: TAPESTRIES OF LOUIS XIV At the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center December 15, 2015 – May 1, 2016 In the hierarchy of court art, tapestry was regarded, historically, as the preeminent expression of princely status, erudition, and aesthetic sophistication. Extraordinary resources of time, money, and talent were allocated to the creation of these works meticulously woven by hand with wool, silk, and precious- metal thread, after designs by the most esteemed artists. The Sun King, Louis XIV of France (born 1638; reigned 1643–1715), formed the greatest collection of tapestries in early modern Europe. By the end of his reign, the assemblage was staggering, totaling some 2,650 pieces. Though these royal hangings were subsequently dispersed, the largest, present repository of Louis’s holdings is the Mobilier National of France. With rare loans from this prestigious institution, Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis XIV explores and celebrates this spectacular accomplishment. This exhibition was organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum in association with the Mobilier National et les Manufactures Nationales des Gobelins, de Beauvais et de la Savonnerie. We gratefully acknowledge the Hearst Foundations, Eric and Nancy Garen, and the Ernest Lieblich Foundation for their generous support. Catalogue numbers refer to Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis XIV by Charissa Bremer-David, published by The J. Paul Getty Museum numbers refer to the GettyGuide® audio tour Louis XIV as Collector, Heir, Patron By the end of Louis XIV’s reign, the French Crown’s impressive holdings of tapestries had grown by slow accumulation over centuries and by intense phases of opportunistic acquisition and strategic patronage.

Molière and Perrault on the Sister Arts by Michael Call According to an Early
The Poet’s Vision and the Painting’s Speech: Molière and Perrault on the Sister Arts by Michael Call According to an early biographer, Nicolas Poussin once stated that the allegorical figure in the background of his self-portrait represented “the love of painting and friendship” (Cropper and Dempsey 182). In this pre-Lessing era of ut pictura poesis when poetry and painting were the axiomatic sister arts, painting certainly counted many friends among the writers, some of them rather unlikely. Of the many literary works produced in the mid- seventeenth century in praise of painting and painters, few, though, are as unexpected as Molière’s 1669 La Gloire du Val-de-Grâce: the playwright’s longest non-theatrical work, the poem represents a striking anomaly in the Molière corpus with regards to subject matter and style. While this uncharacteristic foray into the visual arts and the genre of didactic poetry can be justified as a gesture of friendship—the poem was written in defense of the artist Pierre Mignard, a close acquaintance of the playwright—such a cursory explanation fails to appreciate how the unusual features of Molière’s poem constitute a careful and deliberate response to a rival pair of painters and poets and to the contemporary identity crisis of French painting. The uncertain relationship between La Gloire du Val-de-Grâce and the rest of the Molière corpus—in fact, the poem’s marginalization—is concretely apparent in the anthologizing of Molière’s work. While the La Grange edition of Molière’s complete works, published in 1682, situated the poem in chronological order among the plays, more modern editions, including the Despois and Mesnard edition of 1873-1927 and the 1971 Pléiade edition edited by Georges Couton, relegate the poem to an appendix.1 By comparison, these two editions place 1 It should be noted that the recently-issued Pléiade edition (2010), edited by Georges Forestier and Claude Bourqui, again places the poem in chronological order.

Its limestone facade is brilliant in midday, its gilded roof gleams like fire. Grand boulevards lined with plane trees radiate out in all directions from a court of marble bounded by golden gates. Here, the glory of monarchy seems to spill into the streets. It runs through massive fountains and into a mile-long canal dug by hand. It nourishes thousands of carefully pruned trees which bathe the land in deep, rich green. This place—glittering, pompous, exuberant, extravagant—is the Château de Versailles (fig.

Returning home in 1815, full of optimism and national pride, Morse confronted an artistic climate unfavorably disposed to history painting in the grand manner and was forced to turn to portrait painting for financial support. Throughout the late 1810s and 1820s, he painted portraits of clients in cities and towns along the Atlantic seaboard.
