EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean-Marc Nattier's masterpiece, "Adelaide de France, as the element of Air". Painted in 1750-1 with oil on canvas, this artwork can be found at the Museu de Arte in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Part of a set of four portraits commissioned by King Louis XV in 1749 to adorn the south wing of Versailles Palace, this particular portrait depicts Adelaide (1732-1800), one of the king's daughters. The composition portrays her seated and reclining gracefully amidst a backdrop of billowing clouds. Symbolism is abundant within the painting; a majestic peacock perches nearby while a bird soars through the air above her. Nattier's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. Adelaide is depicted wearing sumptuous silk attire that drapes elegantly around her figure. The three-quarter length portrayal captures her regal beauty and delicate features flawlessly. The overall style reflects the opulence and refinement characteristic of Rococo art. This enchanting portrait exudes an ethereal quality, evoking feelings of grace and serenity.
