Louis de Boullogne the Younger (1654-1733) – [Along with his father Louis Boullogne the Elder (1609-1674) and brother Bon de Boullogne (1649-1717), Louis the Younger belonged to a family of] wealthy and successful French painters, specialists in decorative history painting, both ecclesiastical and mythological. Louis the Elder combined the tradition of Poussin with that of Vouet. Bon and Louis the Younger, pupils of their father, also studied in Bologna and Rome; they brought back to France the delicate and graceful classicism of Albani, setting the tone in their secular works for the mythologies galantes of Boucher. In addition to secular schemes, they collaborated with Antoine and Noël Coypel on the last major cycles of ecclesiastical mural and ceiling decorations commissioned in the reign of Louis XIV, in the Royal Chapel at Versailles and at Saint-Louis-des-Invalides, Paris. Louis the Younger became Director of the Royal Academy in 1722, was ennobled in 1724, and became Premier Peintre du Roy in 1725.
