Hyacinthe Rigaud

Japanese: リゴー - りごー(英語表記)Hyacinthe Rigaud
Hyacinthe Rigaud

French painter. Born in Perpignan in the south of France. After studying painting in Montpellier and Lyon, he went to Paris in 1681. The following year he won the Prix de Rome, but gave up on going to Italy in order to become a portrait painter rather than a history painter. He was active at the court of Louis XIV thereafter. While Largillière, who was a contemporary of his, mostly used citizens as models, he painted portraits of high-ranking officials. Reflecting the trend towards Baroque style at the end of the 17th century, he produced heavy, extravagant works in the style of Van Dyck. His representative works include "Louis XIV" (1701, Louvre Museum). He was also influenced by Rembrandt, and produced naturalistic works such as "Portrait of a Mother" (1695, same as above). He died in Paris.

フランスの画家。南フランスのペルピニャンに生まれる。モンペリエ、リヨンで絵の修業をしたのち、1681年にパリに出る。翌年ローマ賞を獲得するが、歴史画家ではなく肖像画家になるべく、イタリア行きを断念する。以後ルイ14世の宮廷で活躍。同時期のラルジリエールが市民を多くモデルにしたのに対し、高位高官の肖像を描いた。バロック様式へ傾く17世紀末の傾向を反映し、ファン・ダイク風の重厚かつ豪奢(ごうしゃ)な作品を生んだ。代表作に『ルイ14世』(1701、ルーブル美術館)などがある。一方でレンブラントにも影響を受け『母の肖像』(1695、同上)のような自然主義的な作品も描いている。パリに没。
