EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite terracotta sculpture, "Portrait of Melle de Vandeul" created by Jean Baptiste II Lemoyne in possibly 1760. The bust, delicately placed on a marble base, stands as a testament to Lemoyne's mastery in capturing the essence and beauty of his subjects. Lemoyne was renowned for his skill in crafting portrait busts of affluent Parisians, and this particular piece is no exception. The sitter depicted here is believed to be a close relative of the esteemed French critic and writer Denis Diderot. Every detail has been meticulously sculpted, from the intricate facial features to the flowing drapery adorning her shoulders. The artist's signature can be found discreetly incised underneath the shoulder, further attesting to its authenticity. This remarkable work of art now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, thanks to its acquisition through the John L. Severance Fund. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrayal captured through time and space by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to 18th-century France. It serves as a reminder not only of Lemoyne's exceptional talent but also of an era that valued elegance and sophistication. This print invites us into a world where artistry meets history—a visual feast for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
