Champaigne, Philippe de

Baptized May 26, 1602, in Brussels; died Aug. 12, 1674, in Paris. French painter.

Champaigne worked in Paris from 1621. He executed ornamental compositions in palaces and churches, notably those in the Luxembourg Palace, on which he collaborated with N. Poussin. Influenced by Jansenism, Champaigne painted religious scenes distinguished for their ascetic restraint, such as The Last Supper (1648, the Louvre, Paris). In his severe, penetrating portraits he combined elements of Flemish realism and early French classicism; of special note are his likenesses of A. J. Richelieu, J. Mazarin, and A. d’Andilly. Champaigne also painted group portraits, notably, Two Nuns (1662, the Louvre).

Chapter 2 is devoted to representation (paintings, theatre, and books), and is perhaps the least satisfying chapter, for two main reasons: first, no reference is made to music, surely an essential ingredient of representation within and of the Church; second (no doubt owing to economic considerations), none of the Poussin and Philippe de Champaigne paintings Phillips analyses (albeit with subtlety and perception) is reproduced.

Kolakowski's analysis of doctrine, particularly of the Five Propositions, is thorough and lucid, but his judgements are too often so subjective and sweeping as to arouse disquiet: `Jansenism was a religion not only without smiles and laughter, but also without art and even without intelligence, for all the intellectual brilliance of its leaders and the genius of Racine, Pascal and Philippe de Champaigne.

Philippe de Champaigne & the image of the artist: a self-portrait of Philippe de Champaigne in the Fogg Museum of Art has long been dismissed as a copy of the engraving of the artist's famous lost Self Portrait of 1688. Lorenzo Pericolo argues that it is in fact an autograph work of high quality that reveals how Champaigne drew on renaissance art in creating a new approach to portraiture

The somewhat surprising presence of Philippe de Champaigne in the same chapter is probably due to the difficulty of categorising him in the panorama of French painting of the period.
