Circle by CHARLES LE BRUN (Paris, 1619-1690); circa 1700. "The Family of Darius before Alexander". Oil on canvas. Re-retouched. It presents repainting and old restorations. Measurements: 65 x 98 cm; 85 x 118 cm (frame). This work follows the model established by the artist Charles Le Brun in 1660, when he made a painting of the same subject, which is nowadays kept in the Palace of Versailles. Le Brun's work has the same composition; however, in this particular case, the landscape format allows a larger number of figures to be depicted. In the central area is the same composition as the one mentioned above, with the Mother of Darius kneeling on the ground in front of the upright figures of Alexander and Hephaestius. Several figures, forming a large procession, are sheltered under the canvas of a tent, as in Le Brun's painting. In this particular case, however, the artist has allowed himself a little licence by depicting a group of soldiers on the right-hand side of the painting. The scene depicts the moment when, after the battle of Issus, Alexander and his friend Hephaestius decided to visit the family of Darius, who had been defeated. Because of Alexander's youth, Darius' mother was confused and knelt down before Hephaestius. Charles Le Brun was a French painter and an important art theorist. He trained in the studio of Simon Vouet as a child, receiving commissions from Cardinal Richeliu at the age of fifteen. Between 1642 and 1646 he was in Rome, where he came into contact with works by Raphael, Guido Reni, the Bolognese school, etc., and where he was also a pupil of Poussin. He returned to Paris and continued with an important body of work, reaching his stylistic maturity towards the middle of the century (classicist and elegant painting). He was ennobled by Louis XIV, who appointed him Premier Peintre du Roi in 1664. His work can be found in the Louvre in Paris, Versailles, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, USA), the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon (France), the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg (Russia), the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. (USA), the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, etc.
