EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Madame de la Pleigne" is a stunning example of the neoclassical style. Painted by François Pascal Simon Gérard, or attributed to him, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of elegance and grace. The subject of the painting is Madame de la Pleigne, portrayed here as Corinne or Corinna, a Greek poetess known for her musical talents. She delicately holds a lyre in her hands, ready to enchant with her melodic tunes. Dressed in an exquisite peplos gown, she exudes timeless beauty and sophistication. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the intricate folds of fabric and highlights Madame de la Pleigne's radiant complexion. The soft lighting further enhances her allure and adds depth to the composition. It is believed that Madame de la Pleigne was not only an accomplished musician but also had ties to Napoleon Bonaparte as his mistress. This intriguing connection adds another layer of fascination to this already mesmerizing artwork. Currently housed at Musee Antoine Lecuyer in Saint-Quentin, France, this print allows art enthusiasts from around the world to appreciate Gérard's skillful portrayal of female beauty during the neoclassical era. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this piece continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation.
