| Marie de' Medici appointed Champaigne a court painter and gave him various commissions. Large Philippe de Champaigne paintings were painted commemorating important events in the reign of Louis XIII, and portraits of Cardinal Richelieu, both of whom were important clients. Champaigne also produced religious and secular paintings for palaces and churches. In 1648 he became a founding member of the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and became a professor there in 1653. |

His style was influenced by the rationalist French thought of the early 1640s as well as by the austerity of the Catholic sect called the Jansenists. He found a natural affinity with their intellectual ideas of producing art that encouraged meditation, and Philippe de Champaigne painting from this period evolved into a style that moderated the baroque with considerable restraint. In addition to the commissions from royalty and the political elite, Philippe de Champaigne undertook work for the Convent of Port Royal, where two of his daughters were nuns. One of his most famous paintings is Ex-Voto, which depicts Mother Catherine-Agnes Arnauld, the abbess of Port Royal, and his daughter Catherine, who experienced a miraculous recovery from a serious illness while at the convent. | ||||||
