EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme Recamier, née Julie Bernard (1777-1849), was a celebrated French society beauty and wit of the early 19th century. Known for her elegant demeanor and sharp intellect, she was a frequent subject of portraits by the leading artists of the time. In this stunning portrait by Jean-Léonard Janssen David (1778-1856), Mme Recamier is depicted in a reclined position on a white sofa, her hand resting casually on a small table, while she gazes off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. The soft light from the lamp illuminates her face, highlighting her delicate features and the intricate details of her white dress. Born into a modest family, Mme Recamier rose to prominence in French society through her intelligence and charm. She was known for her wit and her ability to captivate those around her, making her a popular figure among the aristocracy and the literary elite. This portrait, painted in 1849, captures the essence of her beauty and sophistication, making it a timeless masterpiece of French art history. Mme Recamier's influence extended beyond the salons and drawing rooms of Paris. She was also an accomplished writer and translator, and her correspondence with notable figures such as Chateaubriand and Madame de Stael further cemented her place in literary circles. Today, she is remembered not only for her beauty and charm, but also for her intelligence and contributions to French culture.
