Because this is a fairly unknown painter it needs to be presented well. People are not going to look after him and his works on commons if they only see a couple not so good paintings of him. They classify him as a por painter and move on. Most people don't go to commons at all. Ex-Voto de 1662 might be an important painting because it depicts his family but it is not a very well done painting, technically is quite poor. So is Cephalus and Procris in a Landscape, compare with his other paintings. Hafspajen (talk) 12:32, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ex Voto of 1662 is widely acknowledged as one of his masterpieces, as can be confirmed by entering Philippe de Champaigne masterpiece into either google or google books; it should not have been deleted, particularly as it was at that time the only one of his paintings actually mentioned in the text of the article. Cephalus and Procris in a Landscape is weak but useful as an example of his early style; readers might wonder what Champaigne painted before he reached his forties.

I changed the date 1640 to from 1640 onwards for the influence of Jansenism- presumably Champaigne read Jansen's book when first published in 1640, but couldn't have had any opportunity to come into contact with Jansen's ideas before that date.

Is the missing "i" in "Champaigne" in the quote "Truly, I should not look to find his portrait By the grave hand of Philippe de Champagne." intentional? 136.169.55.159 (talk) 16:57, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
