Art Of The Ancien Régime Paintings

Discover the Grandeur of the Art of the Ancien Régime

Step back in time to an era of unparalleled elegance and profound societal change with our exquisite collection of Art of the Ancien Régime. This pivotal period in European history, spanning roughly from the late 17th century through the French Revolution in 1789, encapsulates a rich tapestry of artistic styles, from the playful exuberance of Rococo to the noble austerity of early Neoclassicism. It was an age where art served as a mirror to court life, aristocratic aspirations, and the burgeoning intellectual currents of the Enlightenment, shaping the visual culture of pre-revolutionary France and beyond.

The Art of the Ancien Régime is characterized by its remarkable diversity and sophistication. Rococo, with its delicate pastels, ornate curves, and themes of love, mythology, and pastoral idylls, flourished in the salons and châteaux of the French aristocracy, exemplified by masters like Jean-Antoine Watteau, François Boucher, and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. In contrast, the mid-to-late 18th century also saw the rise of Neoclassicism, a return to the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome, emphasizing order, clarity, and moral virtue, as seen in the early works of Jacques-Louis David and the celebrated portraits by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Beyond these dominant styles, genre scenes by artists such as Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin offered intimate glimpses into everyday life, while grand portraiture captured the essence of the era's most influential figures.
