EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century portrait, created by the renowned French artist Antoine Pesne, showcases Jean Mariette (1660-1724), a distinguished engraver of the king during the Baroque era. The image, titled "Jean Mariette (1660-1724), engraver of the king, 1723," captures Mariette in a thoughtful moment, leaning on his elbow as he gazes directly at the viewer with a contemplative expression. The oil painting, which is now housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, showcases Mariette's professional attire, complete with a voluminous wig and a sketchbook and pencil at his side, suggesting that he was in the midst of his creative process. The direct gaze of Mariette, who was both a Frenchman and a German by birth, adds a sense of intimacy and connection to the portrait, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into his world. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting, which was executed in the Baroque style, highlight the skill and artistry of Antoine Pesne, who was also a prominent painter and draftsman in his own right. The portrait of Jean Mariette serves as a testament to the importance of the arts during the 18th century, as well as the role of the patronage system in supporting artists and preserving their works for future generations. Today, the painting is a cherished part of the heritage of Parisian museums and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Baroque era in European art history.
