B. Monmorency
French
B. Monmorency is a French Rococo painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.
B. Monmorency painted sitters in 18th-century European dress with crisp lace cuffs and dark coats. In the gallery’s Portrait of Pieter Parker, Alderman, Burgomaster and Councilor of Goes (1742), the burgomaster’s sober expression and Goes’s civic regalia place him at the town’s helm. Monmorency’s brush catches the sheen of silk and the weight of office in one sitting. Tap the portrait to see how the lace folds catch the light in Goes’s guildhall glow.
