About Artwork: (1655) "In addition to being an important painter of religious subjects, Champaigne gave a face to many key players in the administration of Louis XIV’s France, including the sitter of this portrait, who entered the king’s service in 1661 and eventually became minister of finance. Colbert’s friendship with Charles Le Brun resulted in the founding of the French Royal Academy, the institution that would dominate French artistic life for the next two centuries. While in office, Colbert promoted policies that were codified after his death, such as the Code Noir (1685). This decree gave legal sanction to a brutal system of torture and repression intended to enforce the institution of slavery in the French colonial empire, restricted the activities of free Black people, made Roman Catholicism a compulsory religion, and ordered Jewish people to leave the colonies." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
