EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century oil painting, created by the renowned French artist Pierre Mignard (1612-1695), captures the likeness of Claude Le Peletier (1630-1711) during his tenure as Prévôt des Marchands (Mayor of the Merchants) of Paris, from approximately 1668 to 1676. Le Peletier, a prominent statesman and political figure, is depicted in the portrait with an air of authority and sophistication. He is shown wearing a richly textured robe, adorned with intricate gold gilding, and a voluminous wig, which were symbols of power and wealth during the Ancien Régime. The painting, which is housed at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to the artistic and historical heritage of France during the 17th and 18th centuries. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork by Mignard, who was also known as Mignard le Romain, further enhances the painting's visual appeal and historical significance. The gilded frame adds an ornate and elegant touch to the artwork, making it a true masterpiece of French art and a must-see for anyone visiting Parisian museums.
