Trained in the workshop of Charles Le Brun, he was influenced by the baroque style while incorporating elements of classicism. His work is characterized by an ability to bring his subjects to life, imbuing them with an almost psychological dimension. Belle also played a major role in the development of the portrait as an artistic genre, emphasizing the importance of capturing the essence of his subjects.","brand":"Artem Legrand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55412136411461,"sku":null,"price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/1707\/9365\/files\/Alexis_Simon_Belle_-_Portrait_of_a_man_seated_wearing_a_red_coat_and_holding_a_letter_cadre.webp?v=1755912397","url":"https:\/\/www.artemlegrand.ch\/en\/products\/portrait-of-a-sitting-man-wearing-a-red-coat-and-holding-a-letter-alexis-simon-belle","provider":"Artem Legrand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
