Eustache Le Sueur (French, 1616-1655) • Meekness • 1650 • Art Institute of Chicago

Eustache Le Sueur painted the eight Beatitudes, the ideal qualities Jesus identified in his Sermon on the Mount in the Bible, for the private chapel in his patron Guillaume Birssonnet’s Paris home. This personification of meekness was part of that decoration and accompanied an altarpiece of the Annunciation, monochrome scenes of the life of the Virgin Mary, and a ceiling depicting her Assumption. The Beatitudes, with their patterned gold ground, lined the lower story of this elegant ensemble. Only the Annunciation altarpiece and two of the Beatitudes survive.

Palace of Versailles

Title: Palace of Versailles

Architect: Multiple Architects

Date: Ground broken on 1661

Movement: Late Classicism

Genre: Palace

Located in Versailles, France, The Palace of Versailles is the gateway into the Rococo era. It’s opulence and grand structure plays into the fantasy that the Rococo artists took delight in making for their audiences.

Classicism was a movement almost exclusive to the French Baroque and was meant to show the order and divinity of France. Specifically the upper class. Later on in the romantic age of France over a century later, the same rules were used, but applied to the people and the revolution.

The palace is known for it’s garden which extends for several miles over the grounds and was meant to provide the perfect backdrop for the king’s public appearance. 

While the palace itself represented the power and wealth of the French royals, what that representation meant changed over the course of the Rococo era. As the French economy was in a downfall, the palace became more and more a symbol of the unjust treatment of the people of France.

By the end of the century, the palace was home to a traitor king, conservative Queen, and more money than the common folk would ever see in their lives.

The French Revolution became inevitable and the only chance the people had to ever see their country be restored to the glory it once had. It lasted roughly ten years from 1789 to 1799, with the king and queen being executed in 1793.

What was meant to be a symbol of France’s wealth and power over Europe, was now a cautionary tale of class divides and what happens when unchecked power goes on for too long.

Fairy tales

Ludovic and his sensitive soul, dreaming of true love. Ballet is such a beautiful and demanding art form. Him being a ballet dancer in a modern setting was a perfect match, with his personality, his sensibility and dedication.

I took a lot of inspiration from the interior of the Palace of Versailles for the background.

Scool stuff. We had to create a fictional character based on the european baroque. I made this aristocrat twink, personal wigmaker and barber of king Louis XIV! He was so good at his job that he was recognized and appointed baron by the king, and remained his courtier and friend until Louis died; Aloïs only lived 2 more years after that, with a total lifespan of 60 years.
