French Baroque Era Painter, 1661-1722 director of the French Royal Academy and principal painter of Louis XV. He illustrated many literary works, including editions of Moliere's plays, and was himself a prolific dramatist. Coypel wrote one fairy tale, Agla ou Nabotine (Agla or Little One?), published posthumously in 1779. Coypel weaves several traditional fairy tale motifs into the story of a benevolent fairy who tests the kindness and sincerity of an ugly little girl whose virtue is eventually rewarded with beauty and the love of a handsome young man.   Related Paintings of COYPEL, Antoine :. | The Sacrifice of Iphigenia | Landschaft bei Caux mit aufsteigenden Wolken | Judgement of Paris | A View of Junks on the Pearl River | The Death of Ines de Castro |
