About the Item

Louis XIV in Armor, Workshop of Pierre Mignard (1612-1695) Louis XIV in Armor, Workshop of Pierre Mignard (1612-1695), French school circa 1670. The portrait dates back to 1670, Louis XIV is represented in armor gold color symbolizing the solar star, he still has his natural hair and a mustache, it is on the rise, it governs only recently, from the child puny absolute monarch, it is the beginning of the greatest reigns in the history of France ..... Oval frame original wood golden oak. (gilded). Our opinion: Portraits of Louis XIV young are rare enough unlike many editions of the official model Hyacinthe Rigaud dating from the reign of the great King. Yet in his youth that the legend of King sun forge, beautiful and a good dancer, but also king warrior, hunter, builder, visionary, patron ... .It is everywhere and manages everything ... France becomes the center of the world and France .... it's him ! Three hundred after his death he remains omnipresent .... The table dates from the period of the stone back Mignard in Paris in the years 1660-1670, it is closer to the equestrian painting "Louis XIV crowned by victory at Maastricht by Pierre Mignard kept in the eye in the Salon de Boeuf Castle of Versailles. Pierre Mignard, French classical painter of the 17th century, is best known for his portraits of the royal family. 17th admired, considered a model in the 18th, it will be forgotten or denigrated in the history of art from the 19th century to finally become in the 20th century one of the references of French painting. Like his older brother Nicolas, Pierre Mignard decides to be a painter. In 1624, he as master Jean Boucher and then he studies the sets of Fontainebleau, before entering the studio of Simon Vouet will be his master and friend. In 1635, like many artists, Mignard part in Rome, and remains 22 years in Italy. He has the opportunity to work in 1643 with Nicolas Poussin. During these years, studying the Italian artists Mignard, and acquires a celebrity with his portraits and religious paintings, particularly graceful Madonnas, called "mignardes". At 19, Louis XIV, who likes to surround himself with talented people, said Mignard in Paris in 1657. He immediately agreed to the court where he will become one of the painters of the king. He received commissions for châteaux like Saint Cloud, Versailles Hotel des Invalides and the Parisian hotels. This important part of its business is gone, and is known only by studies or engravings. Only the order of Anne of Austria for the dome of the Val de Grace in 1663, is still visible with a composition of more than 200 characters. Mignard opposes the authority of the first painter Charles Le Brun. Only after the death of this one in 1690, Mignard get the functions of his rival in 78 years.
