Philippe de Champaigne is considered to be one of the finest painters of the 17th century. Born and artistically trained in Brussels, Champaigne moved to France in 1621 where he would enjoy a career as an artist spanning nearly 40 years. He studied landscape painting under Fouquieres and was influence by Rubens early on. Painting during the Baroque era; Champaigne was often commissioned to create portraits of the aristocracy and the clergy as well.

One such famous patron was the Cardinal Richelieu, whom he worked for, decorating his palace.

Champaigne would also work with the artist Poussin to decorate the Luxembourg Palace, as well as the queen mother, Marie de Medicis and also decorated the dome of the Sorbonne.  Many of his compositions have religious themes, as this was the style of the day, and certainly, was popular amongst his patrons.

It is also said that his interest in religious imagery grew from the sudden and miraculous recovery of his sick daughter. Champaigne adopted the style of Jansenism, a style of painting which emphasized divine grace, original sin and predestination. This style was later condemned as being heretical, and came to an end in 1710. Champaigne’s painting “Ex Voto de 1662,” which hangs in the Louvre, is a depiction of his daughter, a nun, after she was cured. This painting is said to be the start of his Jansensist career.

Occasionally, Champaigne would create still life or paintings of children outside his usual subjects, and was said to be a founding member of the Academie Royale, where he would lecture on works by Titian and other old masters.

Today his works hang in the Prado museum in Spain, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and many others worldwide. He was highly prolific in his lifetime, and left a massive oeuvre of beautiful Realist, Classicist paintings behind him.
