| Description |  |
Antoine Singlin (1607-1664) was director of Port Royal de Paris, convents at the center of the severely ascetic religious movement known as Jansenism. He served as confessor to both Louis XIV and the philosopher Blaise Pascal. De Champaigne, himself a Jansenist, recorded the leaders of the movement in a series of simple, psychological incisive images appropriate to their radical, austere beliefs.
