Mme Recamier, Reclining
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an iconic portrait of Jeanne-Françoise-Julie-Adèle Recamier, a prominent French social leader and literary salonnière of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The image captures Mme Recamier in her signature pose, reclining elegantly on a day-bed, which she had popularized in French society. The portrait, created between the years 1777 and 1849, is a testament to her refined taste and influence. Mme Recamier was known for her beauty, intelligence, and wit, and her Parisian salon was a gathering place for many notable figures of the time, including Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, and George Sand. Her salon became a center of intellectual and artistic exchange, and she was often referred to as the "Queen of the Salons." The day-bed, with its flowing curtains and plush cushions, is a symbol of the luxurious and comfortable lifestyle enjoyed by the French aristocracy during this period. Mme Recamier's reclined position on the bed, with one hand resting on her chest and the other holding a fan, exudes an air of relaxed sophistication and sensuality. This portrait is a reminder of the role that Mme Recamier played in shaping French culture during a time of great social and political change. Her influence extended beyond her salon, as she was also an active patron of the arts and a supporter of various charitable causes. The image of Mme Recamier, Reclining, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and the glimpse it provides into the world of the French aristocracy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
