In one painting by this artist, a king on horseback wearing a laurel wreath is about to trample the snake heads of a winged demon as that king undergoes apotheosis. In another of his paintings, an angry-looking, shirtless Indian king is carried in front of a warlord on a white horse. This head of the Gobelins manufactory made a tapestry of his painting that showed two Persian queens groveling before the title character and Hephaestion. This artist's series on The History of (*) Alexander includes Alexander and Porus and The Tent of Darius, which earned him the post of Chief Painter to the King. He depicted his patron riding a white horse in between two members of his suite flanking him with parasols in Chancellor Seguier on Horseback. The woman who painted Self-Portrait in a Straw Hat was married to this artist's distant relative. For 10 points, name this seventeenth century French painter who decorated the salons of Peace and War, as well as the ceiling of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles
