Philippe de Champaigne (French, 1602–1674) Antoine Singlin fixes the viewer with a steady, piercing gaze. Before his excommunication in 1661, Singlin served as confessor both to
Louis XIV, King of France and the philosopher
Blaise Pascal. He was also director of Royal-des-Champs and Port-Royal-de-Paris, convents at the center of the severely ascetic religious movement known as
Jansenism.
This psychologically penetrating study captures the fierce personality of the man and his austere beliefs. Philippe de Champaigne placed Singlin in half-length format against a neutral
background, leaving the viewer little choice but to meet Singlin's direct stare.
