LE BRUN, Charles
French painter (b. 1619, Paris, d. 1690, Paris)
French painter and designer. He dominated 17th-century French painting as no other artist; it was not until over a century later, during the predominance of Jacques-Louis David, that artistic authority was again so concentrated in one man. Under the protection of a succession of important political figures, including Chancellor Pierre S?guier, Cardinal Richelieu and Nicolas Fouquet, Le Brun created a series of masterpieces of history and religious painting. For Louis XIV and his chief minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert he executed his greatest work, the royal palace of Versailles: an almost perfect ensemble of architecture, decoration and landscape. After Colbert's death in 1683, he was no longer able to count on prestigious commissions Related Paintings of LE BRUN, Charles :. | Chancellor Sguier at the Entry of Louis XIV into Paris in 1660 sg | The Resolution of Louis XIV to Make War on the Dutch Republic g | Chancellor Seguier at the Entry of Louis XIV into Paris in 1660 (mk08) | Martyrdom of St John the Evangelist at Porta Latina g | Jephthah's Sacrifice | Related Artists: Salomon KoninckDutch Baroque Era Painter, 1609-1656,was a Dutch painter of genre scenes and portraits and engraver.
