Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619-1683). Artist: Philippe de Champaigne (French, Brussels 1602-1674 Paris). Dimensions: 36 1/4 x 28 1/2 in. (92.1 x 72.4 cm). Date: 1655.
In 1651 Colbert joined the household of Cardinal Mazarin, principal advisor to Queen Anne of Austria during the minority of Louis XIV (1638-1715), and one of the great collectors of the seventeenth century. Having recouped the cardinal's fortune, Colbert entered the king's service and, ten years after he sat for this portrait, was appointed minister of finance.
