Charles Le Brun
1619 – 1690
French painter and art theorist, the dominant artist of Louis XIV's reign. His father, the sculptor Nicolas Le Brun the Elder, sent him at a very young age to study under François Perrier, and later under Simon Vouet. Le Brun copied various paintings at Fontainebleau and from the age of 15, painted several compositions for Cardinal Richelieu; Poussin, who was then in Paris, found them interesting.
