Mignard studied with Simon Vouet in Paris, At age eighteen Mignard left for Italy, where he spent 22 years that made him famous as a portrait painter. A royal summons brought him back to Paris in 1657. His portrait of Louis XIV found favor in the court and Mignard pitted himself for power against Charles Le Brun, but without much success; Le Brun was much too well entrenched.
