{"product_id":"j-b-rebel-composer-jean-moyreau","title":"J. B. Rebel, Composer - Jean Moyreau","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn eighteenth-century portrait engraving by Jean Moyreau depicting the French composer Jean-Féry Rebel at his desk with his violin and manuscript.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Jean-Féry Rebel (1666-1747), a prominent French composer and violinist who served as the Maître de musique at the Académie Royale de Musique. The print, executed by the French engraver Jean Moyreau, captures the musician in a moment of creative activity. He is seated at a desk, quill in hand, with a musical manuscript open before him. A violin rests on the desk, signalling his primary instrument and his role within the royal musical establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoyreau employs a sophisticated technique of etching and engraving to render the textures of the period costume, the powdered wig, and the upholstered chair. The lighting is focused, drawing attention to the composer's face and his work, while the background remains in shadow. This approach is characteristic of eighteenth-century portraiture, which often sought to convey both the social status and the intellectual pursuits of the subject. The inscription at the base of the print identifies Rebel by his official titles, confirming his position within the courtly hierarchy of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the conventions of the time, placing the subject in a domestic or studio setting that reflects his professional identity. The attention to detail in the musical notation and the folds of the fabric demonstrates the technical skill of the engraver. This work provides a visual record of a figure who contributed to the development of the French Baroque style, particularly through his innovative use of dissonance and his work in the genre of the ballet de cour. As a historical document, the print offers insight into the visual culture surrounding the musicians of the French court, documenting the appearance and the professional tools of a composer during the reign of Louis XV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Moyreau","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486459433295,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486468018511,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486468051279,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58486468084047,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58486468116815,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58486468149583,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58486468182351,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58486468215119,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58486468247887,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58486468280655,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58486468313423,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58486468346191,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/J.-B_Poster_CompositorV1_1786377026794.jpg?v=1786854592","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/j-b-rebel-composer-jean-moyreau","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
