EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Bust of Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy" sculpted in marble by Antoine Coysevox. Standing at a height of 71 cm, this masterpiece can be found in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy was not only a minister but also served as the Controller General of Finance to Louis XIV. He played a significant role in founding the Academy of Sciences and the Paris Observatory, as well as creating the French merchant Navy. Known for his patronage of the Arts, Colbert de Torcy's influence extended far beyond politics. In this portrait-like sculpture, we see him depicted with curly hair and an elegant baroque style moustache. The intricate lace collar known as jabot adds a touch of refinement to his attire. Notably, he is adorned with the Order of Saint-Esprit around his neck, symbolizing his prestigious position within society. The artist has captured every detail flawlessly - from each curl on his wig to every delicate curl on his clothing. This studio photograph taken after 1896 beautifully captures both the artistry behind Coysevox's work and its timeless appeal. As you admire this image from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it transport you back to an era where power and elegance were intricately intertwined - an era personified by Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy himself.
