EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph-Antoine Moltedo, a prominent figure born in 1775. Created around 1810 by the talented artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, this portrait captures the essence of Moltedo's character and accomplishments. Ingres skillfully portrays Moltedo as a distinguished businessman, dressed impeccably in fashionable attire of the time. The rich colors and intricate details of his frock coat highlight his refined taste and status within society. As we gaze at this painting, we are transported to Italy, where Moltedo resided and made significant contributions. Moltedo's legacy extends beyond his involvement in commerce; he was also deeply involved in various fields such as science, art, and theater. Hailing from Corsica but with strong ties to France, he played an instrumental role in promoting cultural exchange between these two nations. The location chosen for this portrait adds another layer of significance - Rome's Flavian Amphitheatre or Colosseum stands proudly behind him. This iconic landmark symbolizes not only the grandeur of ancient Roman civilization but also serves as a metaphor for Moltedo's own impact on history. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this oil painting is a testament to Ingres' artistic mastery and serves as an invaluable piece of heritage art that allows us to glimpse into the life and achievements of Joseph-Antoine Moltedo during the vibrant 19th century.
