EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Monsieur Calvet, the esteemed founder of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Avignon. Taken in 1922 by renowned artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, this portrait exudes elegance and sophistication. Monsieur Calvet, a distinguished gentleman from France, is depicted wearing an exquisite turquoise dress jacket that perfectly complements his regal presence. His attire reflects the fashion trends of the 17th century, with a touch of modernity from the roaring twenties. The oval-shaped composition focuses solely on Monsieur Calvet, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. His powdered wig adds an air of formality while emphasizing his status as a man of influence during his time. Rigaud masterfully captures Monsieur Calvet's direct gaze, which exudes confidence and intelligence. This powerful stare draws viewers into the portrait and creates an intimate connection with its subject. Located in Vaucluse within Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, Avignon serves as the backdrop for this remarkable piece. The historical significance of both Avignon and Monsieur Calvet are beautifully intertwined through this artwork. As we admire this stunning print today, we can't help but feel transported back to a time when artistry flourished under Monsieur Calvet's guidance at Ecole des Beaux-Arts. It stands as a testament to his enduring legacy in shaping French culture and education during the 17th century.
