Item Overview

Description

Dabos, Laurent (1761-1835), daté de 1790 (France) Portrait de Louis Joseph de Calonne (1700 - 1784) Oil on canvas. Portrait of Louis Joseph de Calonne President of the Parliament of Flanders. Artist signature and date on the bottom of letter held in de Calonne's left hand. 124.46 x 93.98 cm 49 x 37 in Condition report: Slight cracking, lots of small flaking marks and a small hole (5mm) on the right and 3 more near the top edge. Canvas is slightly loose. Provenance: The painting comes from the archives of the seminary of Nicolet is an acquisition from a relative of the de Calonne family, who believed that the painting depicted Joseph Ladislas de Calonne and attributed the painting to Jacques-Louis David. However, upon further research we can confirm that the painting depicts his father, Louis Joseph de Calonne, and is by the French portrait and historical painter Laurent Dabos. Biography: Louis Joseph de Calonne was the President of the Parliament of Flanders, born 4th August 1700 in Tournai, Belgium, deceased 10th May 1784 at Saint-Cloud, France. He lived an exceptional judicial career in Douai. He reached the supreme office of First President of the Parliament of Flanders on December 5, 1767. In 1726 he married with Anne-Henriette de Francqueville. With her he had four children: Marie Anne de Calonne, Marie Madeleine de Calonne, Charles Alexander de Calonne, and Jacques Ladislas de Calonne. Further details: We believe that the painting is part of a serie of identical portraits of de Calonne, with one currently on display at Musee de la Chartreuse in Douai. We have been notified of the existence of a third identical portrait, which is currently on display at the castle of La Grange in Manom, Moselle (France). The presence of this third portrait at La Grange can be explained by the marriage in 1777 of Jean-Gabriel-René-François, Marquis de Fouquet, lord of La Grange, Manom, etc. and Marie-Louise-Eugenie de Blondel d'Aubers, daughter of the First President of the Parliament of Flanders and Marie-Anne de Calonne. The replica portrait in our possession may have been made for a similar celebratory occasion. Huile sur toile, portrait de Louis Joseph de Calonne, président du parlement des Flandres. Signée et datée en bas de la lettre dans la main gauche. 124.46 x 93.98 cm 49x37 in Rapport de condition : Légères craquelures, et beaucoup de petits écaillements. Un petit trou de 5mm sur le coté droit et 3 autres proche du bord du haut. La toile est légèrement détendue. Provenance : Archives du séminaire de Nicolet, elle fut acquise par un relatif de la famille de Calonne pensant que qu’elle dépeignait Jospeh Ladislas de Calonne et l’attribuait à Jacques-Louis David. Cependant après des recherches poussées nous pouvons confirmer que ce portrait représente le père de Joseph Ladislas, Louis Joseph de Calonne, peint par le portraitiste historique français, Laurent Dabos. Biographie : Louis Joseph de Calonne était le président du parlement des Flandres, né le 4 août 1700 à Tournai, Belgique et décédé le 10 mai 1784 à Saint-Cloud, France. Il eût une carrière judiciaire exceptionnelle à Douai, devenant le premier président du parlement des Flandres le 5 décembre 1767. En 1926 il maria Anne-Henriette de Francqueville, avec qui il eût quatre enfants, Marie Anne, Maire Madeleine, Charles Alexandre et Jacques Ladislas. Détails Complémentaires : Le tableau fais partie d’une série de tableaux identiques, dont l’un est exposé au musée de Chartreuse à Douai. Nous avons été informé de l’existence d’un troisième, actuellement exposé dans le château de la Grange à Manom, Moselle, France. L’existence de ce troisième portrait à la Gange est expliquée par le mariage en 1777 de Jean-Gabriel-René-François, Marquis de Fouquet, Seigneur de La Grange à Marie-Louise-Eugénie de Blondel d’Aubers, fille de Marie-Anne de Calonne. Le portrait en notre possession pourrait avoir été commandité pour célébrer le même genre d’occasion.
