CHARLES LE BRUN. The Sacrifice of Polyxena

The Sacrifice of Polyxena. Artist: Charles Le Brun (French, Paris 1619-1690 Paris). Dimensions: 67 5/16 × 51 9/16 in. (171 × 131 cm). Date: 1647. As recounted by the Roman poet Ovid (43 B.C.-A.D. 17/18), the compliant Polyxena is led to her death at the sacrificial altar to appease the ghost of the hero Achilles. Her mother tries to restrain her while the soldier Neoptolemus raises his sword. The infant holding a chest of incense and the austere priest complete this beautifully choreographed composition, which was painted the year following Le Brun's return from Rome, where he had studied with Poussin. Le Brun was to become the official painter to Louis XIV and a leading figure in the academy. He later wrote a treatise on expressions and this enormously influential aspect of his art is well in evidence in this early masterpiece.
