Louis-Gabriel Blanchet
was an 18th century French painter. He mainly
painted portraits of nobility and famous artists and
musicians of 18th century Europe, as well as
mythological scenes. He was active in Rome after winning
second place in the Prix de Rome in 1727. In 1752,
Blanchet painted the “Vision of Constantine” (now housed
in the Louvre), which was a copy of a fresco at the
Vatican. Art historians have compared his work as a
portrait painter with that of fellow 18th
century portrait painter Pompeo Girolamo Batoni. |
