Jean-Baptiste van Loo

Jean-Baptiste van Loo was a French portrait painter of the Rococo period. He came from a large Van Loo family of painters, originally from Flanders. Elder brother of the painter Charles André van Loo. He studied painting with Benedetto Luti at the Académie Française in the Villa Médici.

Jean-Baptiste van Loo's style was marked by refined elegance and a desire to convey the likeness and character of his subjects. He excelled in portraiture and his work was sought after by royalty, aristocrats and prominent figures of his time.

In addition to portraits, he also painted historical and mythological scenes. His works had a sense of grandeur, using a vivid colour palette, intricate details and dynamic compositions.
