Christ Receiving the Children

Artist: Sébastien Bourdon (French, 1616–1671)

Date: 1650–1660

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

In this illustration of an episode from the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament, Jesus (reclining at center) admonishes his disciples not to prevent little children from approaching him. Sébastien Bourdon's figures wear draperies in the antique fashion, and the setting evokes both ancient Rome and the Christian Holy Land.

One of the most versatile and successful 17th-century French painters, Bourdon emulated the rigorous classical style of Nicolas Poussin. Bourdon knew Poussin's work (such as the painting on view in this gallery) from his early years in Rome. Following Poussin's compositional principles, Bourdon organized this scene as a series of parallel, stage-like registers, resulting in a calm, geometric order.

Portrait of Constance Pipelet

Artist: Jean-Baptiste-François Desoria (French, 1758–1832)

Date: 1797

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Painted in the aftermath of the French Revolution, Désoria’s Portrait of Constance Pipelet typifies the Neoclassical style of portraiture practiced by Jacques-Louis David and his circle. The figure, placed parallel to the picture plane and silhouetted against the bright blue of the sky, evokes antique relief sculpture. Her white cotton dress was the fashionable attire of middle- and upper-class women in the 1790s, its antique associations reflecting Neoclassical ideals and its simplicity echoing the egalitarian spirit of the new French Republic. Constance Pipelet, later Constance de Salm-Dyck, was a noted poet, librettist, and feminist with a salon that attracted the literary and artistic notables of Paris.

Alexandre-Jean Dubois-Drahonet (1791-1834) "Portrait of Achille Deban de Laborde" (1817) Oil on canvas Located in the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts, United States Painted during the Bourbon restoration, this portrait depicts the son of a fallen Napoleonic hero during a time of anti-imperialism in France. Eight-year-old Achille wears a miniature version of the embroidered Hussar uniform his father, Baron Jean-Baptiste Deban de Laborde, would have worn. His father’s military awards, notably the ceremonial sword and Légion d’honneur hanging in the upper left, surround the young boy. Achille would ultimately rise to the rank of colonel in the French cavalry.
