Porträt Joseph Goupy (1689-1769)
View through Europeana Collections
Portrait of Joseph Goupy. The French artist is presented here as a frontal chest image. His head is slightly turned to the right and he patterns the viewer. His clothes are simple and he wears a turban instead of a wig. In addition, he presents a drawing of a landscape to the viewer with his left hand. While his head is still made as a copper engraving, the hatches and lines from the neck down become less and less, so that the body and hand and effigy are only reproduced as contour engraving.
Joseph Goupy was the nephew of Lewis Goupy, of whom there is a portrait at the Händel House Foundation, and also studied under his uncle. In the end, he was considered an engraver, painter, set designer and watercolor list. He is said to have been friends with Georg Friedrich Händel, but his caricature of Handel as a pig sitting on a barrel and playing from 1754 probably ended the friendship.
The engraving was performed by Richard Bean, probably after the presentation of an oil painting by Michael Dahl as a copper and contour engraving. Which collection today has exactly this oil painting is not yet available. In any case, the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Austrian National Library in Vienna today have one piece of the present exclaim.
