Painting Description
"Portrait of Louis Auguste le Tonnelier, Baron de Breteuil, 1730-1807" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Louis-Michel van Loo (1707–1771). The portrait depicts Louis Auguste le Tonnelier, Baron de Breteuil, a French diplomat and statesman who served under King Louis XVI. Born into a family of high-ranking officials, Breteuil played a significant role in the political landscape of pre-revolutionary France, holding various important positions including that of Minister of the Royal Household.
Louis-Michel van Loo, a member of the prominent Van Loo family of painters, was a court painter to King Louis XV and is well-known for his portraits of the French aristocracy and royalty. His style is characterized by a refined elegance and a keen attention to detail, which is evident in the rendering of the Baron's attire and dignified bearing in this work.
The portrait is a fine example of van Loo's mastery in capturing the likeness and the social status of his sitters. It shows the Baron dressed in the elaborate costume of the period, with the luxurious fabrics and decorations indicating his wealth and position. The painting's composition, the sitter's pose, and the use of light all contribute to the aura of authority and sophistication that surrounds the figure of Breteuil.
This portrait not only serves as an important visual document of an influential figure of the Ancien Régime but also reflects the artistic conventions and the cultural milieu of the time. The work is housed in a collection that has yet to be specified in this introduction, and its provenance, critical reception, and any notable exhibitions in which it has been featured would provide further context for readers seeking to understand the significance of this artwork within van Loo's oeuvre and the broader history of French portraiture.
