1777 1849 Adelaide Bernard Brocade Champagne Francoise Jeanne Julie Leaning Neckline Recamier Sofa


EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme Recamier, née Julie Bernard (1777-1849), was a renowned French society beauty and wit, celebrated for her captivating charm and intelligence. This exquisite portrait, captured in 1849, showcases Mme Recamier in her elegant sitting room, reclining on a green velvet sofa adorned with gold brocade. The low-cut neckline of her dress reveals a hint of her décolletage, adding to her allure. A glass of champagne rests on the table nearby, a symbol of the indulgent and refined lifestyle of the French aristocracy. Born into a noble family, Mme Recamier rose to prominence in Parisian society during the early 19th century. Her wit, intelligence, and beauty made her a favorite among the city's elite, and she was known for her salon, where she entertained luminaries such as Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, and George Sand. The portrait, taken in the latter years of her life, captures the essence of Mme Recamier's enduring charm and sophistication. Her expression is serene, her posture graceful, and her attire, though simple, exudes an air of elegance and refinement. The rich green hues of the sofa and the intricate gold brocade add depth and texture to the image, while the champagne glass on the table serves as a reminder of the indulgent pleasures of the French aristocracy. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the world of Mme Recamier, a woman who embodied the beauty, wit, and sophistication of French society during a time of great change and upheaval. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a person and transport us to another time and place.
