Født i Toulon, Frankrig, den 2. marts 1707, trådte Louis Michel Van Loo ind på scenen som en del af en fremragende kunstnerslinje. Hans far, Jean-Baptiste van Loo, fungerede som hans første mentor og lagde fundamentet for en karriere, der ville gøre ham til en af det 18. århundredes mest eftertragtede portrætmalere. Denne tidlige uddannelse blev suppleret af studier i Torino og Rom – byer overvældet af kunstnerisk innovation og historisk storhed, hvor han opsugede de dominerende æstetiske strømninger. Allerede i denne spæde begyndelse udviste Van Loo et ekstraordinært talent og modtog i 1725 en pris fra den prestigefyldte Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture i Paris – et vidnesbyrd om hans spirende færdigheder og løftefulde fremtid. Denne anerkendelse satte ham på en sti, der ville føre ham mod de kongelige hoffer og til en evig kunstnerisk hyldest.
