EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel portrait, titled "Samuel Bernard, Comte de Coubert, 1699" showcases the esteemed French financier and banker to Louis XIV. Created by Joseph Vivien in 1657-1734, this masterpiece measures 80x64 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. In this exquisite artwork, Samuel Bernard exudes an air of sophistication and power. Dressed impeccably in a lavish attire befitting his status as one of Europe's most famous and richest bankers, he gazes confidently at the viewer with piercing eyes that hint at his shrewdness. Born into a family of artists - his father being renowned painter Samuel Bernard - Samuel carved out his own path in the world of finance. At the request of Louis XIV himself, he founded the French Guinea Company (La Compagnie de Guinee), solidifying his reputation as an influential figure within European banking circles. Not only did Samuel amass immense wealth through his financial endeavors but also earned recognition from royalty. In 1725, he was granted the prestigious title of Comte de Coubert by Louis XV. Vivien's masterful use of pastels brings forth a sense of realism while capturing every intricate detail from Samuel's elegant wig to his refined facial features. This portrait serves as a testament to both Bernard's remarkable achievements and Vivien's exceptional artistic talent. As we admire this timeless piece today, it reminds us not
