EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century oil painting depicts Abel François Poisson, Marquis de Marigny (1727-1781), a prominent aristocrat and superintendent of the King's buildings in France during the reign of Louis XV. The portrait, painted by the skilled artist Louis Tocque around 1755, captures the Marquis in a formal and elegant pose. He stands confidently before the viewer, dressed in the latest fashion of the time, with a powdered wig that adds a touch of grandeur to his appearance. The richly textured canvas material adds depth and dimension to the painting, while the vibrant colors and intricate details bring the Marquis to life. The Marquis de Marigny was a man of great influence and power in French society, serving as superintendent of the King's buildings and later becoming the Marquis de Menars. This portrait, now housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, is a testament to his noble status and the opulence of the French aristocracy during the eighteenth century. The painting's location in the esteemed museum further solidifies its historical significance and importance in the heritage of French art. Louis Tocque, the artist behind this masterpiece, expertly captures the essence of the Marquis through his use of oil painting techniques. The painting's intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the subject demonstrate Tocque's exceptional skill and talent. This portrait is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of French aristocracy and the art of the eighteenth century.
