EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Basile Fouquet, 1658," is a stunning work of art created by the renowned French artist Robert Nanteuil during the 1650s. The portrait depicts Basile Fouquet, a man of great importance during the Baroque era in France. Fouquet served as the Abbot of Pithiviers and was known for his extravagant apparel and elaborate hairstyle, which are on full display in this image. The intricate details of Fouquet's clothing are a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. His coat, adorned with gold buttons and a rich fabric, is draped elegantly over his shoulders. A voluminous white shirt with a ruff collar peeks out from beneath, adding an air of refinement to the ensemble. Fouquet's hair is styled in a high, curled wig, held in place by an ornate, heraldic headpiece. The portrait also features Fouquet's coat of arms, proudly displayed on a shield at the bottom of the image. The design includes a cross pattee, a fleur-de-lis, and a crescent moon, all symbols of power and nobility. The intricate details of the heraldic design add an additional layer of visual interest to the already captivating portrait. This engraving, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable piece of historical art that offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 17th century. The image of Fouquet, with his elaborate clothing, hairstyle, and coat of arms, serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and traditions of the Baroque era in France.
