Painting Description
"A Portrait Study of Charles-Claude de Flahaut de la Billarderie, Comte d'Angiviller (1730-1809), seated three-quarter-length" is an exquisite example of 18th-century portraiture by the renowned French artist Joseph Siffrein Duplessis. Duplessis, celebrated for his ability to capture the essence and stature of his subjects, was a prominent portraitist during the reign of Louis XVI. This particular work exemplifies his skill in rendering both the physical likeness and the personality of his sitters.
Charles-Claude de Flahaut de la Billarderie, Comte d'Angiviller, was a significant figure in French history, serving as the Director-General of the King's Buildings under Louis XVI. His role placed him at the heart of the cultural and artistic developments of the time, overseeing royal commissions and the administration of the arts. The portrait study by Duplessis captures him in a seated, three-quarter-length pose, a common format that allowed for a detailed depiction of both the sitter's face and upper body, while also providing context through the inclusion of attire and background elements.
Duplessis's technique in this portrait is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a refined use of light and shadow, which imbue the subject with a sense of depth and realism. The Comte d'Angiviller is depicted with a composed and dignified expression, reflecting his status and the responsibilities he bore. The artist's use of color and texture in rendering the fabrics of the Comte's clothing further enhances the sense of opulence and authority.
This portrait study not only serves as a testament to Duplessis's artistic prowess but also provides a valuable historical insight into the life and times of one of France's notable cultural administrators. The work remains an important piece within the broader context of 18th-century French portraiture, illustrating the intersection of art, politics, and society during a pivotal era in French history.
