Painting
Next to the King, the archbishop of Paris was one of the most powerful men in France, and he surrounded himself with only the finest quality. Rigaud was the leading French portraitist of the early eighteenth century, often painting kings and royal families. His account book reveals that Archbishop Vintimille du Luc paid 3,000 livres (the French currency of the time) for this masterful likeness. The painting documents the archbishop's character and stature. The mild expression admirably suggests the conciliatory nature that made Vintimille du Luc famous for his diplomatic skills. Writing materials close at hand and a vest library in the background allude to his scholarly attainments and his work. His sumptuous attire, the exquisite workmanship of his desk and chair, and the theatrical backdrop of cloth are calculated to impress the viewer with the archbishop's power and wealth.

Painting
John Monck was the Master of the Ceremonies in Bath, England, a position that charged him with organizing events, introducing guests and maintaining order in the spa town. Angelica Kauffmann painted this portrait in Italy rather than Monck’s native England, which suggests that he was on a gentleman’s “Grand Tour” of Europe. The Italian painter Pompeo Batoni painted Monck’s portrait in the same year, indicating that he must have spent enough time in Italy for two rounds of sittings.
Although Kauffmann was only 23 years old when she painted Monck’s portrait, she was well into her career, as she had begun painting professionally as a teenager.
