EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Everhard Jabach and His Family, c. 1660" by Charles Le Brun showcases the esteemed French financier and art collector, Everhard Jabach (1618-1695), along with his family. This oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 280 A-- 328 cm and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In this baroque-style portrait, Jabach is surrounded by emblems that represent his deep cultural interests. Through the artist's reflection in a mirror, he is associated with France's leading painter of the time. Painted around 1660 when his grand new Parisian house was built, this artwork serves as a testament to Jabach's wealth and influence. The composition features allegorical elements that symbolize various aspects of culture such as paintings, sculptures, and even a loyal dog at their feet. The inclusion of children adds warmth to the scene while highlighting Jabach's role as a patron of the arts. Le Brun masterfully captures every detail from the elegant interior setting to each individual's attire. The use of light creates depth within the painting while emphasizing its rich colors. This remarkable piece provides us with a glimpse into seventeenth-century France during King Louis XIV's reign - known as the Sun King - where court painters like Le Brun flourished. It stands as both an exquisite family portrait and a celebration of artistic patronage during this golden era in French history.
