Louis-Roland Trinquesse, also Louis-Rolland Trinquesse (* December 24, 1746 in Paris ; † July 14, 1799 there ), was a French painter and draftsman of the late 18th century, about whom little was published despite his important production.

Life

Louis-Roland Trinquesse's parents were François Trinquesse, who ran the “Hotel du Pérou” in the center of the French capital, and his wife Claudine nee Grosbois. The fact that he had the Salonnière Madame d'Épinay (1726–1783) as his godmother could have promoted his career .

In 1758 Trinquesse became a student of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. In 1767 he belonged to the Confrerie van pictura in 's-Gravenhage ( The Hague ) and was “Leerling” at the local Royal Academy of Fine Arts the following year . In 1770 he won the second and first medals of the Paris Academy in quick succession .

From 1779 to 1787, Trinquesse participated in the independent Salons de la Correspondance. In 1789 he withdrew an application for admission to the academy after the academy had already rejected two applications from him. After the French Revolution , in 1791 and 1793 he contributed a total of thirteen works to the salons in the Louvre, which were now open to all artists .

Trinquesse married Marie-Catherine Roy in 1791. His younger brother Joseph-Marie had also become a student at the Paris Academy in 1766, but then took up the trade .

Trinquesse cultivated different genres in the course of his life (gallant and romantic genre scenes , portraits , artistic fashion drawings ). Some guidance is provided by the fact that he generally signed and dated his works .

In the 1770s, Trinquesse painted cleverly lit interiors in which women court themselves while they make music or decorate themselves.

Eroten as arsonist ( Sotheby’s ).

A unique piece in the artist's oeuvre is the painting Eroten as Arsonist , which appeared in the art trade : In an imaginative modification of a topic previously dealt with by Fragonard , Trinquesse lets Apollo women who burned in love cool down with a watering can, while men with umbrellas rush to their aid.

Genre scenes, which he painted in the 1780s, show people in the fashion of the time in English gardens with statues of Venus and Cupid or while celebrating a cult whose symbol is the rose.

While Trinquesse tended to idealize women , he did not shy away from emphasizing characteristic traits in men. He rarely received large portrait commissions. This includes the monumental portrait of the Governor of Paris, Cossé-Brissac, from 1777 , as a colonel in the Swiss Life Guard ( Cent-suisses ).

Young woman breastfeeding, 1777 (private collection).

Against the background of a campaign initiated by Rousseau for the mother to breastfeed children, Trinquesse painted a young woman with her baby that same year.

Based on a template from America and instructions from Lafayette , he created a full-length portrait of George Washington in 1779, which has only survived as a copy . The portrait of the Duke of Lafões (1781), exiled from Portugal, has survived only in one engraving.

After the revolution, Trinquesse adapted his portraits to the style of the time. Worth mentioning is that of an architect from 1794, who could be Jacques-Denis Antoine, who escaped the guillotine thanks to Robespierre's fall .

The artist's drawings include circular portraits of men as brought into fashion by Charles-Nicolas Cochin .

From 1777–1780, Trinquesse created a series of red chalk drawings of dreamy, elegant women in elaborate clothing, dated to the exact day . Most often Marianne Framery, the wife of the librettist and composer Nicolas-Étienne Framery, served as his model . The drawings mentioned were not intended for fashion magazines and were not distributed as prints either , but represent works of art sui generis . According to Pierre Quarré, however, the most beautiful and interesting red chalk drawings by Garnier are those of students in drawing lessons.

In 1809 500 drawings by Trinquesse were auctioned from the estate of the draftsman and engraver Louis-Michel Halbou (1730–1807).

A catalog raisonné of the artist's works, which a French doctoral student announced in 2012, has not yet been published.
