The Louvre's collection of drawings by Pierre Mignard (1612-1695) is exceptional-even unique!-in its scope, provenance and character.
No facet of the artist is left unexplored-from the great decorator capable of covering vast surfaces with mythological or religious figures to the painter of portraits and easel paintings, not to mention the illustrator who worked with engravings.
L'ensemble des dessins de Pierre Mignard (1612-1695) que conserve le Louvre est exceptionnel - et même unique ! - à la fois par son ampleur, sa provenance et son caractère.
Toutes les facettes de l'artiste y sont représentées - du grand décorateur apte à couvrir une vaste surface de figures mythologiques ou religieuses jusqu'au portraitiste, du peintre de tableaux de chevalet jusqu'à l'illustrateur travaillant pour la gravure.
