EDITORS COMMENTS
Mademoiselle Salle as Venus with the Three Graces, captured in this exquisite oil on canvas by Nicolas Lancret, transports us to the enchanting world of early 18th century French art. The portrait-style composition showcases a teenage girl, Mademoiselle Salle herself, embodying the goddess Venus alongside the three mythical Graces. Set against a backdrop of lush woodland and bathed in soft daylight, this scene exudes an air of leisurely recreation. A group of musicians and dancers accompany Mademoiselle Salle as she gracefully plays an instrument, while a bystander looks directly at the camera, inviting us into their captivating performance. Lancret's masterful brushwork brings life to each figure in this medium-sized group painting. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical appearances but also their expressive hand gestures and postures. Every detail is meticulously rendered - from the flowing garments worn by both men and women to the intricate woodwork surrounding them. This artwork offers a glimpse into a time when music-making and dance were cherished pastimes enjoyed amidst nature's beauty. It celebrates both feminine grace and artistic expression through its portrayal of Mademoiselle Salle as Venus surrounded by her ethereal companions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from our private collection, we are reminded of Lancret's talent for capturing moments frozen in time - moments that continue to captivate viewers centuries later.
