This print was used to decorate the thesis of Cesar d'Armes de Busseaux. LABEL A lawyer by profession, Lamoignon became president of the Paris parliament in 1658. Associated with the Prime Minister Colbert, he tried to simplify the laws of France and sought the society of men of letters like the playwright, poet and master of French classical tragedy, Jean Racine (1639-1699). Note the artist's skill in the rendering of the different textures, from the sitter's hair to his fur collar and ermine sleeves, symbols of his profession. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : THESIS : MAN : NACF : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
