Who is Sébastien Bourdon?

Born in 1616 in Montpellier, Sébastien Bourdon is one of the great French painters of the 17th century. Trained at a young age, he traveled to Italy where he discovered Caravaggism, from which he retained the dramatic power and chiaroscuro, without ever renouncing a rigorous classical structure.

Back in France, Sébastien Bourdon became one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, playing a central role in defining French classicism. His work covers a vast range: religious scenes, historical compositions, idealized landscapes, and learned allegories.

His art is distinguished by a rare ability to unite emotion, erudition, and formal balance.
