This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:38, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Antoine Pesne - Self-Portrait with Daughters - WGA17381.jpg|thumb|250px|''Portrait of the Painter with His Daughters'', [[Gemäldegalerie (Berlin)|Gemäldegalerie Berlin]]]]

'''Antoine Pesne''' (((IPA-fr|pɛːn))) (29 May 1683 – 5 August 1757) was a French-born [[court painter]] of [[Prussia]]. Starting in the manner of [[baroque]], he became one of the fathers of [[rococo]] in painting. His work represents a link between the French school and the Frederican rococo style.

==Early life==
Born in [[Paris]], Pesne first studied art under his father and uncle. From 1704 to 1710 he received a [[stipend]] for advanced training at the [[Académie de peinture et de sculpture|Académie Royale]] in [[Italy]].

==Career==
In 1710, Pesne was called to [[Berlin]] by King [[Frederick I of Prussia|Frederick I]] in [[Prussia]].  The king had seen and liked a painting of a German nobleman Pesne had completed in Venice and wanted Pesne to complete a study of himself. Upon the death of the king in 1713, Pesne worked in the courts of [[Dresden]] and [[Dessau]], and later visited [[London]] and [[Paris]], where he was made a full member of the [[Académie Royale]] in 1720.  While there, he painted the a portrait of a well-known collector [[Pierre-Jean Mariette]] in 1723.  Mariette had extensive international connections with other artists and, importantly, with patrons.<ref name=HDRA>Jennifer D. Milam, [https://books.google.com/books?id=zo1SsvqRcasC&dq=antoine+Pesne&pg=PA209 Antoine Pesne], Historical Dictionary of Rococo Art.</ref>

In 1734, [[Frederick the Great]], having been reinstated as crown prince in 1731 by his father, [[Frederick William I of Prussia|Frederick William I]], took up residence in Rheinsberg. Frederick William himself had little use for painting and art for its own sake; he was far more interested in soldiers, soldiering, and building the army. He did, however, appoint Pesne as director of the [[Prussian Academy of Arts]] in 1732.<ref>However, according to the documents, the painter [[Friedrich Wilhelm Weidemann]] also remained there as director until 1751. See Hans Müller, ''Die Königliche Akademie der Künste zu Berlin, 1696-1896'', Part 1 (Berlin, 1896), p. 97.</ref> At that point, Pesne became famous for his portraits of the Prussian royal family and their households.  Among his most famous is his portrait of Frederick William, ''The Soldier King,'' (1733).   Many of his portraits hang in Berlin museums and in [[Charlottenburg Palace]]. These include (among others) his portraits of the first two kings in Prussia, Frederick I and Frederick William I, members of the royal family, and of lady-in-waiting [[Eleonore von Schlieben]].

In St. Agnus Church in [[Köthen]], where [[Johann Sebastian Bach|J. S. Bach]] was music director ([[Kapellmeister]]), there is a portrait of the donor [[Gisela Agnes of Anhalt-Köthen|Gisela Agnes]], Princess of [[Anhalt-Köthen]], painted by Pesne in 1713. The ceiling paintings in Charlottenburg, [[Rheinsberg]], and [[Sanssouci]] Palaces are at least partially his work.

In 1746 Pesne received from King Frederick II property and construction material to erect a house at Oberwallstraße 3 in Berlin, where he lived until his death in 1757. His grave is preserved in the [[Protestant]] ''Friedhof I der Jerusalems- und Neuen Kirchengemeinde'' (Cemetery No. I of the congregations of [[Jerusalem's Church]] and [[New Church (Berlin)|New Church]]) in [[Kreuzberg|Berlin-Kreuzberg]], south of [[Hallesches Tor (Berlin U-Bahn)|Hallesches Tor]].

==Style and influence==
Pesne used a style similar to that made famous in France during the reign of [[Louis XIV]], although his use of colors was softer and his touch more "painterly." His ''View of Rheinsberg'' (1737) demonstrates the engagement of people with nature, a theme popular at the time.<ref>Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, ''Court, Cloister and City:  The Art and Culture of Central Europe, 1450&ndash;1800.'' University of Chicago Press, 1995, [https://books.google.com/books?id=6ETFnJ_8_XEC&dq=antoine+Pesne&pg=PA397 p 397].</ref> 
Most of his decorative work at Rheinsberg and later in Berlin and Potsdam at Sanssoucci, included mythological and allegorical scenes, such as the ceiling in the audience room at Sanssouci: ''Zephyr Crowns Flora''.<ref name=HDRA/>  The presence of such artists as Pesne throughout the capitals of Europe guaranteed the expansion of French influence into all the arts.<ref>Kaufmann, p. 307.</ref>
