Biography:
Sebastien Bourdon moved to Paris at the age of seven to apprentice to a painter from 1623 to 1630. After briefly working in Bordeaux and Toulouse, he moved to Rome and produced copies of famous paintings for a local dealer. Bourdon returned to Paris in 1637 and began living in the Palais du Louvre. He soon became known for his large Baroque-style religious and classical paintings. Bourdon helped found the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. In 1652, he became the first painter to Queen Christina of Sweden and painted multiple court figures. Returning to Paris once again, his final works were landscapes inspired by Poussin.
