Over het schilderij
Pierre Jacques Cazes (1676-1754) was born in Paris where he remained all his life long. He trained with René-Antoine Houasse (ca. 1645-1710) and Bon Boullogne (1649-1717) and despite having won the Prix de Rome in 1699, he never went to Rome. He rapidly received important commissions, especially from the court, and became one of the leading painters of history paintings. His sons, Jacques-Nicolas and Pierre-Michel Cazes, were his pupils as well as renowned figures of the following generation such as Charles Parrocel (1688-1752) and Jean-Siméon Chardin (1699-1779).
Verder lezen
This painting is a fine example of 17th-century French history paintings, of which Cazes was one of the most authoritative exponents although he was soon forgotten after his death. It represents probably the allegory of fidelity and may have been destined to the decoration of a church or a private palace, for which he supplied many designs during his long career.
