The founder of a dynasty of painters, Noël Coypel (1628-1707) distinguished himself brilliantly in several fields: ceilings, easel paintings, graphic arts, tapestry cartoons. After receiving initial training in Orléans, he returned to Paris and participated in the sets for Luigi Rossi's opera Orfeo. Spotted by the painter Charles Errard, then director of the royal sets at the Louvre, the grand set design became the essential part of his activity: first the parliament of Rennes, then the royal residences and again, in the twilight of his life, the Invalides.
Some of these collections have now disappeared—at the Louvre, Fontainebleau, the Palais-Royal, and even those from the first Versailles—others are known only through a few paintings, which will be presented at the exhibition. This first exhibition dedicated to Noël Coypel (from September 26, 2023 to January 28, 2024 - Queen's Guard Room and Grand Trianon) will honor the artist through a selection of 90 works (paintings, drawings, tapestry cartoons, etc.) presented in the Grand Trianon and at the Palace of Versailles in the Queen's Guard Room, under a decor that he created himself and which was restored between 2015 and 2017.
As an extension of this exhibition, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes will also organize an exhibition on the painter's entire career in 2024. At the same time, Noël Coypel brilliantly crossed the stages of his academic career. Accepted in 1663 at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, he was appointed professor in 1664, before becoming head of the Académie de France in Rome from 1673 to 1675, then that of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1695.
