Joseph Vivien, French painter (Lyon 1657 - Bonn 1734).

From 1672 he was in Paris student Bonnemer and evolves in the entourage of Le Brun. Although he performed some religious paintings (. Fuction lost), he specializes in portraits, painted in oil pastel and as often, and as such, is admitted to the Academy: Portrait and Portrait of Girardon Robert de Cotte (1698-1699, Louvre).

He now spends much of his activity during the Cologne and Bavaria (many portraits of princes kept in Munich: Alte Pin, Residence, Schleissheim.). His picture to the largest oil is the allegory of Max Emmanuel of Bavaria meeting with his family (1715-1733, Munich Pinakothek. Alte).

Official portraits, with their sharp features and a bit monotonous, show a certain stiffness, which disappears in the effigies of the characters of lower rank (Fenelon, 1713, Versailles, Samuel Bernard, 1699, Museum of Rouen, probably its leader -d'œuvre) and artists (Self-portrait, 1730, Munich, Alte Pin;. 1699 Offices; Portrait of a painter, 1698, Louvre; Hardouin-Mansard, Hermitage).

Vivien instituted with Rosalba Carriera fashionable pastel portraits, which will experience a great success throughout the century.
