EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning "Portrait of Madame Valtesse de la Bigne" painted by Henri Gervex in 1889. Madame Valtesse de la Bigne, also known as Lucie Emilie Delabigne, was a renowned courtesan who served as a model for Émile Zola's iconic character Nana. The painting, executed with oil on canvas, measures an impressive 2.00 x 1.22 meters and is housed at the prestigious Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. Gervex masterfully captures Madame Valtesse's allure and elegance through his brushstrokes, immortalizing her beauty for generations to come. Madame Valtesse de la Bigne was not only a muse but also a prominent figure in French society during the late 19th century. Her influence extended beyond her role as a courtesan; she was admired for her intelligence and wit among artists and intellectuals of the time. Gervex's portrait serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that sheds light on the fascinating world of Belle Époque Paris. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of high-class courtesans who played significant roles in shaping French culture during this period. As we admire this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness Madame Valtesse de la Bigne's undeniable charm and grace—a testament to both her individuality and Gervex's exceptional talent as an artist.
