Painting Description
"Self-Portrait 1690" is a notable work by the French painter Pierre Mignard (1612–1695), who was a prominent artist during the reign of King Louis XIV. This self-portrait, created in 1690 when Mignard was 78 years old, is a testament to his artistic skill and his position as one of the leading portraitists of his time. The painting is an oil on canvas and measures 128 cm by 97 cm.
In this self-portrait, Mignard depicts himself with a confident gaze, dressed in the fashion of the French aristocracy, which reflects his status and success as a court painter. The portrait is characterized by its refined brushwork, the delicate rendering of the flesh tones, and the intricate details of the attire, all of which exemplify Mignard's mastery of the portrait genre.
Mignard's career spanned several decades, during which he gained fame for his portraits of the nobility and for his mythological and religious compositions. He became the official court painter after the death of his rival Charles Le Brun in 1690, the same year this self-portrait was painted. This work not only serves as a visual autobiography but also marks a significant period in Mignard's life, capturing the artist at the pinnacle of his professional achievements.
The "Self-Portrait 1690" is an important piece within Mignard's oeuvre and offers insight into the artist's self-perception and legacy. It is also a valuable historical document that contributes to our understanding of the artistic conventions and societal norms of the late 17th century in France. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing for its continued study and appreciation by art historians and the general public.
As an artist who successfully navigated the complexities of patronage and artistic trends of his time, Pierre Mignard's "Self-Portrait 1690" remains a significant work for its artistic merit and for its place within the broader context of French Baroque portraiture.
