About the Item
French school early 18th Century
Portrait of a cleric,
oil on canvas
68 x 54 cm, oval
I recently had this painting cleaned and restored by a professional restorer. It is in fairly good condition with few inpaintings, obviously only visible under UV light.
This beautiful portrait perfectly encapsulates the art of the Louis XIV era. Its style and execution are typical of portraits from this period. It suggests the work of a talented painter who has yet to be identified.
The classical art of French portraiture was elevated to a high level by leading artists such as Philippe de Champaigne, who had inherited the realism of Flemish painters. This lineage is evident in this work thanks to the talent with which the artist meticulously recreates the model's facial features. The sobriety and pose also evoke Champaigne's portraits, suggesting that our artist was directly influenced by him.
The artist has perfectly captured the character and personality of the model, who also remains unidentified. The sitter exudes intelligence, and his slightly sarcastic gaze and smile bring him to life.
This painting captures the spirit of the time.

This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer.
What this man seems to be staring at is himself.
Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy.
It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...
