Portrait of Molière
- Localisation : The Tribune
- Année de création :Circa 1658
- Artiste :Pierre Mignard
Description
Pierre Mignard is one of the major classic French portrait artists. When he crossed paths with Molière in Avignon in 1658, after having worked in Orange and Saint-Rémy, a great friendship started between the two men, until the death of the writer in 1673. The painting in Chantilly probably dates from this meeting, because the model appears to be less than forty years old.
