Noel-Nicolas Coypel belonged to a French family of painters of which Noel (1628-1707) was the head. Noel-Nicolas painted mainly mythological subjects, but he seems to have had a rather timid personality and did not achieve the worldly success of the other members of the family. Indeed, he was the best painter of the family, but is the least famous. Chardin was briefly his assistant.
