# Madame de Bourbon-Conti [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [COYPEL, Noel-Nicolas]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 138 x 107 cm ## Commentary Noel-Nicolas Coypel belonged to a French family of painters of which Noel \(1628-1707\) was the head. Noel-Nicolas painted mainly mythological subjects, but he seems to have had a rather timid personality and did not achieve the worldly success of the other members of the family. Indeed, he was the best painter of the family, but is the least famous. Chardin was briefly his assistant. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 6 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/17\_cent/couperin\_pieces.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>François Couperin: Pieces de clavicen \(excerpts\)</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Birth of Venus]() - [Birth of Venus]() - [The Bath of Diana]() - [The Rape of Europa \(detail\)]() - [The Rape of Europa]() - [Venus and Her Companions]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
