Painting Description
"Portrait of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-95)" is an oil painting by the French Baroque painter Hyacinthe Rigaud, created in 1690. The artwork is a representation of the renowned French fabulist and poet Jean de La Fontaine, famous for his "Fables," a collection of moralistic tales and anecdotes that have become a staple of French literature. Rigaud, who was one of the most sought-after portraitists of his time, particularly under the reign of Louis XIV, captured the intellectual presence and the refined elegance of La Fontaine in this portrait.
The painting showcases La Fontaine in a half-length pose, dressed in the attire befitting a man of his stature and time. His expression is contemplative, possibly reflecting the wit and wisdom for which he was known. The portrait is noted for its meticulous detail, the rich textures of the fabrics, and the lifelike rendering of La Fontaine's features, all of which are characteristic of Rigaud's sophisticated style.
Hyacinthe Rigaud's "Portrait of Jean de La Fontaine" is not only a testament to the artist's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document that provides insight into the cultural and intellectual elite of 17th-century France. The painting is an important work in the oeuvre of Rigaud and holds significance in the study of French portraiture of the period.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the general public alike. Its presence in one of the world's most prestigious museums underscores its artistic and cultural value.
