Biography:
Nicolas Mignard studied painting with a local artist in Troyes, France before visiting Fonatinebleu to copy the Mannerist frescoes there. His first recorded work was a fresco in a Provence convent in 1633. He moved to Rome with the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyon in 1635. He returned to Avignon to paint altarpieces for houses and churches. Mignard was commissioned by the French court in 1660 to paint portraits of the courtiers. After attracting the attention of King Louis XIV, he was sent to Paris to work as a portrait painter and to decorate one of the rooms in the palace. He joined the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and became a professor.
