Title: The Jabach Family Artist: Charles Le Brun (French, Paris 1619–1690 Paris) Date: ca. 1660 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 110 1/4 × 129 1/8 in. (280 × 328 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Purchase, Mrs. Charles Wrightsman Gift, in honor of Keith Christiansen, 2014 Accession Number: 2014.250 The German-born financier and art collector Everhard Jabach appears in the company of his wife Anna-Maria and their four children in one of the grandest family portraits of the seventeenth century. Although Le Brun presents an arresting portrayal of each sitter, much of the composition is given over to Jabach and the emblems of his cultural interests, such as books, sculptures, and mathematical instruments. The artist himself appears reflected in a mirror, dipping his brush in the white paint on his palette. Le Brun’s canvas must have been executed around 1660, which also coincides with the construction of Jabach’s grand new Parisian house. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/626692
