17th Century Neapolitan School After Charles Lebrun, The Family of Darius Before Alexander.
17th Century Neapolitan School after Charles Lebrun, The Family of Darius Before Alexander. Circle of Luca Giordano (1634; 1705). Relined canvas measuring 92 cm by 63 cm Frame measuring 104 cm by 76 cm This beautiful painting depicts the queens of Persia at the feet of Alexander the Great, shortly after his victory at Issus in 333. Accompanied by his faithful Hephaestion, Alexander visits the queen who is carrying her son Ochus in her arms. The queen begs for clemency for her family. The original painting by Charles Lebrun, which can be admired at Versailles, was probably painted around 1661 at the beginning of Louis XIV&39;s personal government. It also marks the beginning of the painter&39;s career as painter to the king. Charles Le Brun lived in Fontainebleau, close to the king, and Louis XIV "would come to see him at unexpected moments when he held the brush in his hand," as Claude Nivelon, disciple and first biographer of Charles Le Brun, explains. The scene is inspired by a sequence from Plutarch&39;s Lives of Illustrious Men, a passage from Quintus Curtius, but also by contemporary plays centered on the Macedonian hero: Claude Boyer in 1648 (Porus or the Generosity of Alexander), Morel in 1658 (Timoclée or the Generosity of Alexander, a tragicomedy), already emphasized the greatness of soul of the conqueror of Darius. Today, it is one of the most famous works of French painting, it opened from its creation, a new era of this Art in our country. Engraved by Gérard Edelinck the Elder (1640; 1707), it was widely and quickly distributed throughout Europe, allowing local artists to take up the subject in their own way. Thus, our painting is a work of the Naples school of the last quarter of the 17th century in the circle of Luca Giordano (1634; 1705).
