Painting Description
"Portrait of Henri d'Orléans (1822-97), Duc d'Aumale, 1896" is a notable painting by the French artist Benjamin Jean Joseph Constant, created in the late 19th century. This work of art captures Henri d'Orléans, the Duke of Aumale, who was a significant figure in French history as the fifth son of King Louis-Philippe I and a prince of the House of Orléans. The portrait is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects, as well as to the social and political significance of the sitter.
Benjamin Constant, born in 1845 and passing in 1902, was a celebrated Orientalist painter and a prominent figure in the Parisian art scene of his time. Known for his academic style and his role as a teacher at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Constant's works often reflect the grandeur and opulence of the Orientalist aesthetic, as well as the more formal aspects of state portraiture.
The portrait of Duc d'Aumale is particularly significant as it was painted a year before the duke's death, making it one of the last representations of the prince. Henri d'Orléans was not only a royal figure but also a military leader, historian, and collector of art. He was known for his extensive collection of books and manuscripts, which he bequeathed to the Institut de France, and for the Château de Chantilly, which houses the Condé Museum, showcasing one of the finest collections of historical paintings in France.
The painting itself is a reflection of the duke's status and character, depicting him in a dignified pose that conveys his nobility and contributions to French culture and history. The artwork is an example of the academic portraiture that was prevalent during the period, showcasing Constant's mastery of form, composition, and the use of color to evoke the personality and stature of his subject.
