In the life of Pierre Mignard I
The whole life1658–1690
Rivalry with Charles Le Brun
He becomes the rival of the king's first painter Charles Le Brun, whom he had known since Vouet's workshop, and refuses to join the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture while Le Brun is its director; instead he heads a competing guild, the Academy of Saint Luke in Paris. His brother Nicolas and his nephew and pupil Paul side with Le Brun, and relations with them break down.
