Robert Nanteuil Pierre Mignard I

Robert Nanteuil, alongside Pierre Mignard I, was active in the early 1660s, with documented output spanning the years 1660 to 1661. This brief documented period of activity established a selection of Robert Nanteuil Pierre Mignard I prints in major North American collections.

The works represented in museum holdings focus primarily on high-quality prints depicting influential figures of the French court and aristocracy during the mid-seventeenth century. Five such prints are currently represented in institutional databases, confirming the artists’ focus on portraiture.

The subjects captured include several depictions of powerful historical figures such as Anne of Austria, Queen of France, Anne of Austria, Queen of France and Navarre, and multiple portraits of Cardinal Jules Mazarin. Another represented work is Jules, Duc d'Enghien. These surviving works are held in the permanent collections of respected institutions, notably the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Gallery of Art. The presence of these works in collections establishes them as museum-quality examples of seventeenth-century printmaking.

Today, Robert Nanteuil Pierre Mignard I prints are accessible through various digital initiatives, often entering the public domain. Reproductions of this downloadable artwork are frequently utilized for educational and study purposes.
