3710682 Portrait of Hubert Languet, 1580 (oil on panel) by Pourbus, Frans I (1545-81); 41x30 cm; Manchester Art Gallery, UK; (add.info.: Portrait of Hubert Languet (1518-1581)
This is a portrait of the French lawyer and diplomat Hubert Languet (1518-1581), who was a famous apologist for
the rights of Protestants to religious and civil liberty. Expelled from France for his beliefs, he settled for a while at
Wittenberg, after which he entered the service of the Elector of Saxony (1559-77). It was during this period that he
became an advisor to William of Orange (also known as William the Silent or William the Taciturn). He is credited
as the joint author, with Philippe de Mornay, of the Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos (A Defence of Liberty Against
Tyrants), which was presented on 13 December 1580 to the Dutch Staten General. Pourbus became a master in
the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in 1569/70. He was a highly versatile artist, who produced religious and history
paintings, including Christ Among the Doctors 1571 (the Vigilus Altarpiece, Ghent Cathedral, still in situ), as well as
landscapes and around twenty portraits.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Hubert Languet, 1580" showcases the remarkable talent of Frans I Pourbus. Painted with meticulous detail and precision on a panel, this oil masterpiece measures 41x30 cm and is proudly displayed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The subject of this portrait is none other than Hubert Languet (1518-1581), a renowned French lawyer and diplomat who dedicated his life to advocating for the rights of Protestants to religious and civil freedom. Expelled from France due to his beliefs, Languet sought refuge in Wittenberg before serving under the Elector of Saxony from 1559 to 1577. During this period, he became an influential advisor to William of Orange, also known as William the Silent or William the Taciturn. Languet's most notable achievement was co-authoring the Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos (A Defence of Liberty Against Tyrants) alongside Philippe de Mornay. This groundbreaking work was presented to the Dutch Staten General on December 13th, 1580. Pourbus skillfully captures Languet's intelligence and determination through his masterful brushwork. Known for his versatility as an artist, Pourbus produced not only portraits but also religious paintings like Christ Among the Doctors (1571). His contribution to art history remains significant with around twenty portraits attributed to him. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Pourbus' artistic prowess while commemorating Hubert Languet's enduring legacy as a defender of liberty during a tumultuous era in European history.
