1590 1649 Boulonois Curly Painter Simon Vouet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print depicts the renowned French Baroque painter, Simon Vouet, also known as Simon Vouet de Boulonais. Born in Lyon in 1590, Vouet was a leading figure in the French art scene during the 17th century. He was known for his dynamic and expressive style, which was influenced by the works of Caravaggio and the Venetian masters. In this portrait, Vouet is depicted in three-quarter view, with his curly hair cascading down over his shoulders. He wears the attire of a successful artist, with a richly embroidered doublet and a ruff collar. His intense gaze and serious expression convey a sense of deep concentration and dedication to his craft. Vouet's career began in Lyon, where he studied under the local painter, Jacques Patin. He later moved to Paris, where he became a student of the influential artist, Carle Van Loo. Vouet quickly gained a reputation as a talented painter, and was soon commissioned by King Louis XIII and Queen Marie de' Medici to create a series of large-scale history paintings for the Galerie des Ambassadeurs at the Palace of Fontainebleau. Throughout his career, Vouet produced a diverse range of works, including portraits, landscapes, and religious and mythological scenes. He was also a prolific printmaker, producing numerous etchings and engravings. Vouet's influence on French art was significant, and he is considered a key figure in the development of the French Baroque style. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Simon Vouet, a master painter whose work continues to captivate and inspire artists and art lovers alike. With his intense gaze and flowing curls, Vouet's portrait comes to life, offering a glimpse into the mind and soul of one of the greatest artists of the French Baroque period.
