3122653 Portrait of Antoine Coysevox, 1701 (oil on canvas) by Jouvenet, Francois (1664-1749); 47.3x39.4 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: With one hand resting on a marble bust and the other clutching a chisel, Antoine Coysevox reveals his profession: he was a royal sculptor, employed at the court of Louis XIV. But he also happened to be the director of the French Academy from 1702 to 1705. Francois Jouvenet painted this portrait a year before Coysevox became director and, in fact, presented this picture and another as his diploma paintings for acceptance into the same institution. Jouvenet eventually established himself as a portraitist of considerable reputation.); 穢 Minneapolis Institute of Art; The Christina N. and Swan J. Turnblad Memorial Fund; French, out of copyright.
