About the Item
Allegorical Scene - Oil on canvas cm.120x90, Eugenio De Blasi, Italy, 2005.
This is his reinterpretation of a greatest old master painting "Marquise de Seignelay e Two of Her Children "by Pierre Mignard.
Pierre Mignard (1612-95) was president of the Académie, the ruling institution of French classicism, when he painted this. He had spent 21 years in Italy, following the trail blazed by Claude (c1604-82) and Poussin (1594-1665) who set Greek, Roman and biblical scenes in sublimely imposing, expansive landscapes.
French classicism is a dream of the Mediterranean and its history of wars, gods, cities, shepherds - an elevated vocabulary of painting that became codified by the Académie and by painters such as Mignard. While such painting often seems chilly to modern viewers, it was classicism's intellectual conception of art that made France such fertile ground for aesthetic revolution right through to the early 20th century.
Catherine-Thérèse de Matignon (1662-99) had been widowed a year when this was painted. Her husband was Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Seignelay, son of the famous statesman Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and, crucially to the aquatic mythology of this portrait, ministre de la marine - head of the French admiralty. It's impossible to be certain which of the marquise's five sons accompany her, but a good guess is that the boy in armour is her eldest, Marie-Jean-Baptiste (1683-1712), and the Cupid is her infant son Théodore-Alexandre.
