Painting Description
"Abel François Poisson, Marquis de Marigny (1727–1781) by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle" is an 18th-century portrait of Abel François Poisson, the younger brother of Madame de Pompadour and a notable figure in the French court during the reign of King Louis XV. The artist, Louis Carrogis, known as Carmontelle (1717–1806), was a French dramatist, painter, and architect, celebrated for his portraits of the French nobility and his creation of transparentes, which were a form of landscape transparencies intended for viewing in a specific light.
The portrait of Marquis de Marigny captures the subject during his tenure as the Director-General of the King's Buildings, a position he held from 1751 to 1773, following in the footsteps of his influential sister. Marigny was responsible for significant contributions to the development of French architecture and the arts, including the commissioning of important works and the oversight of royal building projects such as the completion of the Place Louis XV (now Place de la Concorde) and the Petit Trianon at Versailles.
Carmontelle's depiction of Marquis de Marigny is notable for its refined elegance and the insight it provides into the fashion and cultural milieu of the French aristocracy in the pre-revolutionary period. The portrait is executed with the delicate and informal style characteristic of Carmontelle's work, emphasizing the sitter's status and taste.
As an important work of art from the Rococo period, this portrait not only serves as a representation of Marquis de Marigny's appearance but also as a document of the artistic and cultural environment of the time. The painting is a valuable piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the life of one of the key figures in the arts during the Ancien Régime in France.
