EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Joseph-Antoine Moltedo, a prominent figure in the early 19th century. Painted by the renowned artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 75.2x58.1 cm and is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Joseph-Antoine Moltedo was not only a Corsican by birth but also an enterprising businessman and inventor. He served as an agent to the French clergy at the Vatican and held the esteemed position of director of the Roman post office from 1803 to 1814. This painting was commissioned by French officials during Napoleonic Rome, making it historically significant. What sets this portrait apart is its inclusion of Roman views as backdrops, specifically featuring the iconic Appian Way and Colosseum. These ruins add depth and context to Moltedo's persona, symbolizing his connection to ancient history while embodying neoclassical aesthetics. Ingres masterfully captures Moltedo's essence through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow. The half-length composition emphasizes his dignified presence, highlighting his importance within both French Empire circles and Roman society. This neoclassical artwork serves as a testament to Ingres' talent as well as a visual record of Joseph-Antoine Moltedo's influential role during this transformative period in European history.
