Sebastien Bourdon Biography

(b montpellier, 2 feb 1616; d paris, 8 may 1671). french painter, draughtsman and engraver. although he was one of the most successful painters of the mid-17th century in france and highly praised by the writer andré félibien, he was also widely criticized for never achieving a fixed style of his own. he began his career as an imitator of the bamboccianti and of giovanni benedetto castiglione. he later produced altarpieces in a vigorous baroque style and portraits in the manner of anthony van dyck before coming under the classicizing influence of nicolas poussin. towards the end of his career, in a lecture to the académie royale, he recommended that young artists reject uniformity of inspiration. remarkably, he was able to give a personal flavour to his work in any style and genre.
