Paris, 1656 -1746 · Baroque color and portrait of the city
Nicolas de Largillierre was born in Paris in 1656, trained in Antwerp then stayed in England with the circles of Peter Lely and Antonio Verrio. Returning to Paris around 1680, he benefited from the support of Charles Le Brun and entered the Royal Academy in 1686, which he directed in 1738. Rigaud's Rival but more associated with urban elites, he earned the nickname "painter of the city". His palette nourished by Van Dyck, Rubens and Titian gives portraits a bright color, fluid fabrics and a less hieratic elegance. His palette nourished by Van Dyck, Rubens and Titian gives the portraits a bright color, fluid fabrics and a less hieratic elegance. Maria Ana Victoria, daughter of Philippe V and Élisabeth Farnese, is painted at the Louvre in 1724. Promised to Louis XV since 1722, the little infanta then lived in Paris before being returned to Spain in 1725. Commissioned by officials of the city of Paris, the portrait shows her in full length with flowers, fan, jewelry and crown. The pageantry prepares a royal destiny, while the freshness of the face recalls the real age of a child caught up in European diplomacy. The "Nicolas de Largillierre" selection notably compares Maria Ana Victoria de Borbon and Farnesio. His reading favors light.
Largillierre envelops politics in color: the infanta remains a child, but flowers, jewelry and draperies already make up her destiny as queen.
