| Portrait of Antoine Paris, Conseiller d'Etat, 1724 Hyacinthe Rigaud French, 1659-1743 Oil on canvas 58-1/2 x 45 in. (148.6 x 114.3 cm) The Norton Simon Foundation F.1965.1.054.P © 2012 The Norton Simon Foundation On view Following his provincial apprenticeships in Montpellier and Lyons, Rigaud moved to Paris, where he met with great success. Like his friend and rival, Nicolas de Largillière, he became a prominent portrait painter. Indeed, he was a perceptive interpreter of the human face. The sumptuous pomp and artifice that he created to surround his subjects demonstrate Rigaud's affinity for the robust qualities of the Flemish Baroque. View Provenance |
