In the 1640s Champaigne became deeply influenced by Jansenism, an austere Roman Catholic reformAttempts between the 15th and 16th centuries to eliminate deficiencies within the Roman Catholic Church (such as financial abuses, moral laxity in the clergy and so on). movement centred at Port-Royal. Thereafter he painted portraits of Jansenist leaders in a cool, restrained, rational French spirit. Outstanding is Ex Voto de 1662 (1662, Louvre), depicting his daughter, a Jansenist nun, cured of paralysis through prayer.
The painting represents Mother-Superior Cathérine-Agnès Arnauld and Sister Cathérine de Sainte-Suzanne, the daughter of the artist.
