EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Madame de Stael as Corinne, a renowned oil on canvas painting by Firmin Massot. The original portrait, created by Vigee-Lebrun in Geneva, was disliked by the sitter herself as she believed it made her appear overweight. This copy of the painting is housed at Chateau de Coppet in Paris, France. Madame de Stael, also known as Germaine Necker (1766-1817), was an influential woman of letters and a prominent writer during the neo-classical era. In this portrait, she embodies the character of Corinne, a Greek poetess depicted with a lyre in hand. The image exudes elegance and intelligence. The artist's skillful use of oil on canvas brings out every intricate detail of Madame de Stael's features and attire. Her expression reflects both strength and vulnerability—an embodiment of her complex personality. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only Massot's talent but also provides insight into Madame de Stael's self-perception and artistic preferences. It serves as a reminder that even accomplished individuals can have insecurities about their appearance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where women defied societal norms through their intellect and creativity—a testament to Madame de Stael's enduring legacy as a writer and author who left an indelible mark on literature.
