Hyacinthe Rigaud was a French painter of Catalan origin. In 1682, he won the Prix de Rome, which enabled him to stay at the French Academy in Rome, but on the advice of Charles Le Brun, he gave up the prize and concentrated on his activity as a portrait painter. At the court of Louis XIV, he met the favors of the ambassadors, ecclesiastics, courtiers and businessmen who posed for him. His portraits, both sumptuous and austere, are now also considered a source for the history of costume and fashion, because, in addition to the physiognomic resemblance, they manage to restore the details of clothing and furniture. The most famous work of Rigaud is the official portrait of King Louis XIV, preserved in the Louvre Museum. He became an Academician of France in 1700 and 1701 he was appointed painter of the king. In 1709, he joined the nobility of his hometown and in 1727, he was named Knight of the Order of San Michele.
