Philippe de Champaigne (26 May 1602 - 12 August 1674) was a Baroque era painter of the French school. Born in Brussels of a poor family, Champaigne was a pupil of the landscape painter Jacques Fouquières. He moved to Paris in 1621, where he worked with Nicolas Poussin on the decoration of the Palais du Luxembourg under the direction of Nicolas Duchesne, whose daughter he married. After the death of his protector Duchesne, Champaigne worked for the Queen Mother, Marie de Medicis, and for Richelieu, for whom he decorated the cardinal's palace, the Dome of the Sorbonne church and other buildings.

After his paralysed daughter was miraculously cured at the nunnery of Port-Royal, he painted the celebrated but untypical picture Ex-Voto (1662),
