"Abbot Armand-Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé, 1626-1700" is a notable oil on canvas portrait by the French Baroque painter Hyacinthe Rigaud, created in 1691. The painting depicts Armand-Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé, a French Catholic religious reformer and abbot of the Cistercian monastery of La Trappe, who is best known for his role in reforming the Trappist Order. Rigaud, renowned for his portraiture, captures de Rancé in his ecclesiastical attire, conveying both his status and the austerity of his monastic reform.

The portrait is significant for its artistry and as a historical document, reflecting the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century France. Rigaud's mastery of texture and light is evident in the lifelike representation of fabrics and the subject's visage. The painting also serves as an emblem of the Counter-Reformation's impact on monastic life and the broader spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church during this period.

As a work of art, "Abbot Armand-Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé, 1626-1700" is an exemplar of Rigaud's portraiture skills, which made him a favored artist among the nobility and clergy of his time. The portrait is housed in the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Lisieux, in France, contributing to the museum's collection of religious and historical artifacts. Its presence in the museum underscores the importance of both the subject, Abbot de Rancé, and the artist, Hyacinthe Rigaud, to French cultural heritage.
