	History of Art: Baroque and Rococo - Charles Le Brun
		Le Brun was made first painter to the king, given an enormous salary, and until his death occupied a position of paramount importance in the artistic life of France not equaled until the advent of the painter Jacques-Louis David at the end of the 18th century.

		Le Brun also developed a highly sophisticated and comprehensive theory of pathognomics, that is, a theory of how the expressive movements of the features may reveal the passions, as distinguished from physiognomics, the discipline more properly concerned with the judgment of human character from the features themselves.
		For Le Brun and his contemporaries; both disciplines pertained to the larger matter of pictorial "expression," which may be defined as that set of techniques which enable the artist to communicate sentiments to the beholder.
		Although Le Brun's pathognomic theory is known through the text of his academic lecture on the subject, the Conference sur l'expression, his physiognomics and the rest of his pictorial theory have come down to us only through fragmentary or secondhand sources.

		From the 1660s, commissions for decoration of the royal palaces, notably Versailles, were given automatically to Le Brun and his assistants, and in 1663 the Academy of Painting and Sculpture was reorganized with Le Brun as director.
		Le Brun's own painting style was a more dramatic and sensuous version of Poussin's static and monumental manner--seen in "Horatius Cocles Defending Rome" (1644)--which became dulled and generalized when applied to large surfaces.

		His interest in Le Brun's "demonstrations" and his devotion to their revival are noteworthy, and relate to the current of neo-classicism then in vogue, a conceptual triangulation linking the Roman and the Napoleonic imperium through the reign of the Sun King.***
		Le Brun's system is in fact two-tiered, having to do with general characteristics, yet taking account of individual differences.
		Here Le Brun develops the triangular geometry relating to what he apparently considered to be significant examples of animals, along with their human equivalents.

		When Séguier died in 1672, Le Brun organized a magnificent memorial service that, although ostensibly offered by the Academy of Painting and Sculpture, was actually a Le Brun's quite personal expression of gratitude for thirty years of protection.
		It is of course possible that Charles Sevin de Troigny considered himself too lofty to receive his musician cousin at his home, owing to his contact with the Séguiers — and with the Grand Condé and the Prince d'Harcourt, who likewise signed the Sevin son's wedding contract in 1662.
		Le Brun himself used to tell how his family tree went back to a certain Jacques Le Brun who had been a "gentilhomme servant" to Mary Queen of Scots.
