17th-century FRENCH school, entourage of Gabriel Blanchard (1630-1704) Perhaps an allegory for the birth of Louis XIV Oil on canvas. H_59 cm W_125 cm Faded, restorations. Our painting is reminiscent of the allegory for the birth of Louis XIV, painted by Gabriel Blanchard in 1665 and conserved at the Château de Versailles. This painting was his reception piece at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. The theatricality inherited from the Italian Baroque can be recognized in our work, as can the bold colors inspired by the Renaissance. This composition may remind us of the lecture Jacques Blanchard gave at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1671 on the quarrel between drawing and color, a lecture that proved a great success.
