Louis De Boullogne
Louis de Boullogne II (19 November 1654 – 2 November 1733), known as Boullogne fils, was a French painter. Life Boullogne was born and died in Paris, and was the brother of Bon Boullogne. Their father, Louis Boullogne, feared rivalry between the two brothers if Louis the younger became a painter and so at first opposed his wish to do so. However, his vocation finally won through and every evening Louis crossed Paris to go with Bon to draw at the Académie. Aged 18 he won the grand prix de peinture and left for Rome in 1676, when his brother returned from there. He made copies after ''The School of Athens'', ''Disputation of the Holy Sacrament'' and many other works by Raphael, from which the Gobelins made many different tapestries for the French king. Returning through Lombardy and Venice in 1680, Louis returned to Paris and soon won a great reputation. In 1681 he was received as a member of the Académie : his reception piece showed ''Augustus closing the doors to the templ ...

Henrietta Maria
Henrietta Maria (french: link=no, Henriette Marie; 25 November 1609 – 10 September 1669) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland from her marriage to King Charles I on 13 June 1625 until Charles was executed on 30 January 1649. She was mother of his sons Charles II and James II and VII. Contemporaneously, by a decree of her husband, she was known in England as Queen Mary, but she did not like this name and signed her letters "Henriette R" or "Henriette Marie R" (the "R" standing for ''regina'', Latin for "queen".) Henrietta Maria's Roman Catholicism made her unpopular in England, and also prohibited her from being crowned in a Church of England service; therefore, she never had a coronation. She immersed herself in national affairs as civil war loomed, and in 1644, following the birth of her youngest daughter, Henrietta, during the height of the First English Civil War, was compelled to seek refuge in France. The execution of Charles I in 1649 left her impoverished. ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Louis Boullogne
Louis Boullogne (; August 1609, in Picardy – June 1674, in Paris), known as Louis le père, was a French painter. Life After spending some years in Italy, Boullogne set up in Paris and made a major contribution to the organisation of the Académie de peinture, where he was a professor until his death. He was a talented copyist and many anecdotes exist about this, which are more-or-less true. He painted ''Saint Simeón'', ''St Paul's Miracle at Ephesus'' and ''The Beheading of St Paul'' as Mays for Notre Dame. He engraved copies of these himself and, in Rome in 1637, a copy of ''The Raising of Helena'' after Guido Reni. All four of his children (Bon, Louis, Geneviève and Madeleine) became painters. Geneviève married the sculptor Jean-Jacques Clérion (c. 1640–1714).
