Mignard, Pierre
(1612-1695)
   painter, designer
   Born in Troyes, Pierre Mignard, a leading baroque painter, studied with jean boucher in Bourges and with Simon vouet in Paris. He then stayed in Italy from 1635 to 1657, where he studied the works of the Carracis, le Dominiquin, Pietro de Cortona, Guido Reni, and Francesco Albani. This period abroad earned him the name "Mignard le Romain." Mignard painted portraits of the aristocracy that became very popular and also small tableaux, inspired by Raphael, that he called "mignardes" (Virgin of the Grapes). in 1658, he became the personal painter to the queen mother, anne of Austria, and produced a number of religious works, decorations for several mansions (hôtel d'Epernon), and had great success as a portraitist. His great rival was charles le brun, and because of this Mignard was named to the Académie Française only in 1690. As a portraitist, he never hesitated to flatter his subjects, looking always to express elegance and grace (Girl Blowing Soap Bubbles).
