Jean-Sébastien ROUILLARD (Paris 1789 - 1852) Marguerite de France (1553-1615) saving a prostrate during the Saint Barthélémy massacre On its original canvas 110 x 118.5 cm Signed lower right Rouillard Damage and restoration Provenance: Rapps, Stockholm; Anonymous sale, Stockholm, Bukowskis, 2013. Jean-Sébastien Rouillard was a French painter born in Paris in 1789 and a pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Exhibiting at the Salon from 1817, he specialized in historical portraits and large-scale compositions inspired by national history. He received numerous official commissions, notably for the Musée de l'Histoire de France at the Château de Versailles during the reign of Louis-Philippe I. His style, inherited from Davidian neoclassicism, combines precision of drawing, a taste for historical costume and a dramatic sense of staging. Among the artist's works held in public collections are the Portrait de Camille Desmoulins, preserved at the Château de Versailles, and several portraits of First Empire marshals and generals painted for the Galeries Historiques de Versailles. His historical compositions can also be compared with the great Romantic scenes inspired by the Wars of Religion and the French Revolution, which were particularly popular in the first half of the 19th century.
