EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Ary Scheffer, depicting Felicie de Fauveau in 1829. Painted with oil on panel, this masterpiece measures 103 x 72 cm and is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Felicie de Fauveau was not just an ordinary sculptress; she was a true pioneer who defied societal norms and made her mark on history. Known as "The Amazon sculptress" she actively supported the Bourbon monarchy and even faced imprisonment for her involvement in the 1830 July Revolution. Her dedication to her cause led her to support the Duchesse de Berry and organize uprisings in Vendee alongside Countess de La Rochejaquelein. After agreeing to go into exile, Felicie settled in Florence where she continued to create awe-inspiring sculptures inspired by heraldry symbolism. Her works embraced a militant Catholic iconography that exuded glory, drawing inspiration from Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance forms. This print captures not only the beauty of Scheffer's artistry but also pays homage to Felicie's indomitable spirit as a female pioneer sculptress. It serves as a reminder of her significant contributions to both art and politics during a time when women were often marginalized. This image is part of Fine Art Finder's collection and can be appreciated for its historical value without any commercial use intentions.
