About the Item

Portrait of Louis de France (1661 -1711), known as the Grand Dauphin, son of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa of Austria. 17th century French School, circa 1670 Workshop of Beaubrun Henri (1603-1677) and Charles (1604-1692) Oil on canvas, h. 79 cm (31.10 in), l. 70 cm (27.56 in) Louis XIV style giltwood and stucco frame Framed: h. 107 cm (42.13 in), l. 99 cm (38.98 in). Rare ceremonial portrait of Louis de France, aged around 10, wearing rich miniature clothes following the men's fashion of his time. He is standing, turned in three quarters, his gaze with a solemn expression contrasts with his baby face with full cheeks which appears in the middle of thick blond curls falling on his shoulders. He wears a tobacco-colored cloth jacket which hides a shirt of which we only see the silver-embroidered sleeves. He wears the blue cord of the order of the Holy Spirit slung over his shoulder, and over it a ribbon embroidered with gold and silver. The white lace tie at her neck is enhanced by a coral ribbon bow. The same ribbon trimmings decorate his sleeves, his cane, and his sword holder. Her hands are wrapped in long white gloves, and the wrists are decorated with bows of ribbon. His sword, the hilt of which can be seen among the ribbons, is attached to a centurion. Curious that this might appear on such a young child, the sword and the cane were only fashion objects under Louis XIV, rather than a military badge. His figure stands out against the background of a large crimson velvet curtain whose cleverly constructed folds are raised to expose the distant horizon. The first son of Louis XIV, he's obtained the title of Monseigneur or the Grand Dauphin at his birth, he has always been in the centre of particular attention being the sole successor to the French Crown. From its birth, a clever communication campaign was put in place to promote the dynastic sustainability of the Bourbons. The distribution of portraits of the heir of Louis XIV helped consolidate the monarchy. In some portraits he is represented alone, in others he is with his mother Maria Theresa of Austria (see the full-length portrait kept in the Prado Museum in Madrid, painted by Pierre Mignard around 1664, inv. P02291) or with his grandmother Anne of Austria (see the one kept at the Palace of Versailles and painted by Beaubrun around 1665 (inv. MV 9157)). Most of his portraits were executed by painters working for the French court, the Beaubruns, Jean Nocret or Pierre Mignard. Our portrait is a workshop variant of Charles and Henri Beaubrun, the original painting (lost or destroyed) is known from two engravings by Nicolas de Larmessin and would have been painted by the Beaubruns around 1671. However, there remains a second portrait very similar to ours kept in the Padua museum in Italy, the clothes are identical, yet the hairstyle of loose curls and the less chubby face could indicate a slightly older age.

Louis de France, known as Monseigneur, or the Grand Dauphin after his death, was born in Fontainebleau on November 1, 1661 and died at the Château de Meudon on April 14, 1711. The eldest son of Louis XIV and Marie-Thérèse of Austria, destined to succeed his father, Monsignor the Dauphin benefited from a specific education and training that Louis XIV wished to be the most successful. Monsignor took part in several military campaigns between 1688 and 1694, including the glorious capture of Philippsburg in 1688. He died at the age of 49 without ever having reigned. Charles Beaubrun (1604-1692), Henri Beaubrun (1603-1677) Charles and Henri Beaubrun, inseparable in their lives, are also in the history of French painting. Charles's father, Mathieu de Beaubrun, page of Cardinal de Joyeuse, was sent to Rome to complete his education as an artist, the talent he passed on to his son. As for Henri, his father, also named Henri, was valet to the king's wardrobe, which earned the son a position as harquebus holder, Louis XIII, recognizing young Henri's passion for painting, took an interest in his education. Henri, gaining popularity as a court painter, associated his cousin Charles with new commissions from courtiers, and so they began to work together on the same works, so that it is difficult to distinguish the hand of each painter. The cousins ??then collaborated between 1630 and 1675, painted many official portraits and specialized in royal portraits, being appointed official painters of the Court during the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. In the middle of the century, they enjoyed great success with the ladies of the court and produced several series of female portraits of the great nobility. In 1648, they participated in the foundation of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.

18th c. French Portrait of a Lady by Jean Ranc (1674 - 1735), Paris circa 1700

Located in PARIS, FR

Portrait of a Lady with carnations By Jean Ranc (Montpellier 1674 - Madrid 1735), circa 1700 Oil on canvas in oval shape, Dimensions: h. 35.82, w. 28.34 in. Period Louis XIV giltwood and carved frame with laurel leaves. Framed dimensions: h. 42.52 in, w. 33.85 in. Provenance: Collection of the Marquis de Bailleul at the Château d'Angerville-Bailleul (before 1942). To be included in the catalog raisonné of the artist by Stephane Perreau Important portrait of a young woman depicted half-length turned three-quarters, her face looking at the viewer. Dressed in a brick red velvet dress, an elegant blue scarf envelops her figure. Hair styled “a la Fontange”, her powdered hair is raised and tied at the back with a red ribbon, several curly locks escape from her bun and fall on her back and shoulders. The perfectly oval face with regular features dominated by her straight nose is softened by her gray eyes with slightly lowered lids. The red tinged skin tones on the cheeks and cheekbones color the face and make the portrait come alive. The young woman is portrayed standing near a pot of carnations. Her strongly lighted figure stands out against an architectural background of columns. The artist's palette is made of contrasts opposing warm to cold hues. The icy electric blue contrasts with the fiery brick red, the hair powdered with white accentuates even more the flush of the cheeks. The left arm bent at the elbow, extending the open hand with slightly bent fingers in the foreground brings depth to the composition. Our portrait, an interesting testimony in the corpus of works of the painter, is part of his youthful period, around 1700-1705. The former belonging of this portrait to the Marquis de Bailleul reinforces the remarkable character of our painting. The portrait has been examined by Stéphane Perreau, specialist of Jean Ranc and will be included in the catalog raisonné currently being written, under number P. 43. The notice edited by Mr Perreau is below: "Painted around 1700-1705, this portrait of a woman is directly inherited from Hyacinthe Rigaud, the master of Jean Ranc (the hand turned over the front, in a watch...
