Originally housed in the Hôtel de Ville, the paintings were removed during the French Revolution and vandalized, with only a few fragments salvaged and repurposed, as is the case with the present portrait. It is certainly a fragment-one of several-from one of two lost group portraits by Champaigne of the Paris City Council executed in the 1650s. The present, superb portrait of a man-its surface beautifully polished, its portrayal conceived with all of the insight into the sitter's character and psychology for which Philippe de Champaigne is revered-is a splendid survivor of the ruthless depredations suffered by many of the most important civic and church commissions undertaken during the ancien régime. On three occasions, Champaigne was commissioned to paint the official group portrait of the aldermen of Paris, portraits traditionally ordered every two years when a new provost was elected. He also worked extensively for Richelieu, and made the celebrated full-length portrait of the Cardinal (c.1635/40 National Gallery, London).

He curried favor with Louis XIII, for whom he painted a portrait (1628 Louvre) showing the king crowned by Victory at the Siege of La Rochelle. Champaigne was patronized extensively by both church and court and was granted lodgings in the palace. Together with the young Poussin, he worked for Marie de'Medici at the Luxembourg Palace, eventually becoming her official painter. 100-101.īorn in Brussels, Philippe de Champaigne arrived in Paris in 1621.
