Hyacinthe Rigaud (1659 – 1743)
Explore Hyacinthe Rigaud's stunning 17th/18th-century French Baroque portraits! Known for capturing nobility & fashion with exquisite detail. Discover his legacy!
This portrait comes from the last years that Rigaud accepted commissions from sitters of relatively modest social standing. He would soon paint almost exclusively for the court, including two of the most iconic portraits depicting Louis XIV. This distinguished man’s identity remains unknown, but the size and format were a way to purchase a work that included the features for which Rigaud was celebrated—the soft lighting, undulating curls, and shifting surface of shot silk—at a lesser cost.
