Pierre Gobert (1662 - 1744), Portrait of the Duchess of Burgundy
1/6
Description
Property of a Gentleman. Pierre Gobert (1662 - 1744) A portrait of the Duchess of Burgundy. Oil on canvas. Gobert's artistic journey began under his sculptor father, and by age 20 in 1682, he worked as a court portraitist. He quickly gained recognition, becoming a candidate member of the Acadamie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1701, followed by full membership. In 1704, he displayed seventeen portraits at the Salon, including those of royal family members. Gobert temporarily moved to Luneville from 1707 to 1709 to paint Leopold, duc de Lorraine (1679-1721), and Elizabeth Charlotte d'Orleans (1676-1744). His focus was often aristocratic women, and he resurfaced at the 1737 Salon before gradually fading from the art scene. Marie Adelaide, born in 1685, was the daughter of Vittorio Amedeo II (1666-1732) of Savoy and Anne Marie d'Orleans (1669-1728), Louis XIV's (1638-1715) niece. She married her second cousin, Louis, duc de Bourgogne (1682-1712), in 1697. Cf. Metropolitan Museum Accession no. 631.20 Dimensions: (Canvas) 31 in. (H) x 37 in. (W) (Frame) 42 in. (H) x 48.5 in.
