Hyacinthe Rigaud Biography

(b Perpignan, 18 July 1659; d Paris, 29 Dec 1743). French painter and draughtsman. He was, with Nicolas de Largillierre, one of the foremost painters of the later years of the reign of Louis XIV. While Largillierre drew his sitters from the wealthy Parisian bourgeoisie, Rigaud’s clients were drawn largely from court circles. He developed to a high level of formal perfection the portrait d’apparat , or state portrait, bringing a greater formality to the understated elegance of the portrait tradition of Titian and Anthony van Dyck. The style that Rigaud established continued to be the dominant one for official portraits in France into the 18th century. His brother Gaspard Rigaud (1661–1705) was also a portrait painter.
