Samuel-Jacques Bernard (1686–1753)
Samuel-Jacques Bernard (19 May 1686 — 22 November 1753), comte de Coubert after the death of his father in 1739, was the son of the financier Samuel Bernard, the richest commoner in France and his first wife, née (Anne)-Magdeleine Clergeau; he was superintendent of finance for Queen Maria Leszczyńska from 1725, a ''maître des requêtes'', ''conseiller du roi'' and ''Grand Croix'' and Master of Ceremonies of the Order of Saint-Louis.〔Full titles and honours in de La Chenaye, Desbois and Badier, ''Dictionnaire de la noblesse'', 1873.〕
Like his father he converted from Calvinism. In 1715〔29 September, at Saint-Sulpice, Paris, according to Augustin Jal, ed. ''Dictionnaire critique de biographie et d'histoire: errata et supplément'', 1867, ''s.v.'' "Bernard", pp 203 col. a ff〕 Bernard married Elisabeth-Olive-Louise Frot()ier, daughter of the marquis de La Coste-Messelière.
At his father's death he inherited a fortune estimated at 33,000,000 ''livres''.〔F. J. B. Watson, "A French Eighteenth-Century Room for Jerusalem", ''The Burlington Magazine'' 111 No. 801, (December 1969:758-761) p. 768.〕 His sensational bankruptcy in 1751, which involved Voltaire in a loss of 80,000 ''livres'' representing 8,000 ''livres'' of income,〔V(). de S(), "Samuel Bernard" in ''Réunion des sociétés des beaux-arts des départements'' 17 (1893:293-300); includes rancorous quotes from Voltaire's correspondence.
〕 did not interrupt his career as a ''grand seigneur'',〔Jal 1867.〕 though the estate at his death remained deeply in debt. His richly furnished ''hôtel particulier'' was designed by Germain Boffrand and built in 1741-45 at 46, rue du Bac, backing onto the Paris.〔The entrance alone survives in rue du Bac; the ''corps de logis'' was demolished in the extension of Boulevard Saint-Germain (Pierre Verlet , ''The Eighteenth century in France: society, decoration, furniture,'' 1967:14); see Bruno Pons, "Hôtel de Samuel Jacques Bernard," in ''Le faubourg Saint- Germain: la rue du Bac'', exhibition catalogue, Paris 1991; Charles Duplomb, ''La rue du Bac'' 1894:39-42〕 He filled it with works of art. For the dining-room, panelled in oak left its natural color (''à la capucine''), Jean-Baptiste Oudry painted in 1742 two large canvases with hunting dogs, which rank among Oudry's most splendid decorations.〔According to Hal N. Opperman, ''J.-B. Oudry, 1686-1755'' 1983:174.〕 The white-and-gold ''boiseries'' of the grand salon, with their overdoors of the Four Continents painted by four painters who were providing tapestry cartoons for the looms at Aubusson: Jacques Dumont le Romain, Charles-Joseph Natoire, Charles Restout and Carle Van Loo,〔For the Aubusson connection, see George Leland Hunter, ''Tapestries; Their Origin, History And Renaissance'', "French Looms, The Gobelins: Beauvais: Aubusson. Part 6" ((on-line text )).〕 are now installed in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.〔The ''hôtel'' in the rue du Bac was demolished in 1887 for completion of the Boulevard Saint-Germain (1893:297; the ''boiserie'' was the gift of baron Edmond de Rothschild (Watson 1969:758-761).〕 Books and manuscripts from his extensive library, dispersed at auction in 1754 and 1756,〔François Moureau, "Encore ces maessieurs de Rieu," in ''La lettre clandestine no. 3'' (Paris:Sorbonne) 1999:296 and note 2.〕 are recognizable from the arms surrounded by the collar of the Order of Saint-Louis and the motto ''Bellicae vitutis praemium'' stamped on their rich bindings.〔Ernest Coyecque, "Manuscrits du Tribunal de Commerce de la Seine", in ''Revue des bibliothèques'' 3 1893:98 and notes,〕
