"L'olive De Messire Joachim Du Bellay: Femme À La Mandoline, Relief En Cire Polychrome" is a notable work by the French artist Henri Cros (1840–1907), renowned for his pioneering contributions to the revival of the ancient technique of encaustic painting and his innovative work in glass and wax sculptures. This particular piece stands out as a testament to Cros's mastery in handling polychrome wax, a medium known for its demanding nature and the delicate, luminous effects it can produce.

The artwork is inspired by the Renaissance poet Joachim du Bellay and his collection of poems titled "L'Olive," published in 1549. Du Bellay's work, emblematic of the French Renaissance's literary flourishing, is celebrated for its exploration of themes such as love, beauty, and the human condition, elements that Cros adeptly captures and reinterprets in his relief. The choice of a woman playing a mandolin as the subject matter not only reflects the Renaissance's interest in music and its role in expressing human emotions but also showcases Cros's skill in depicting intricate details and his sensitivity to color and form.

Created during the late 19th century, a period marked by a resurgence of interest in Renaissance art and literature among French artists and intellectuals, "Femme À La Mandoline" exemplifies Cros's contribution to this cultural movement. By employing a relief technique in polychrome wax, Cros bridges the gap between traditional sculptural forms and the modern exploration of new materials and techniques, making the piece a significant example of the innovative artistic practices of the time.

The artwork's significance is further enhanced by its place within the broader context of Cros's oeuvre, which is characterized by a fascination with the past and a commitment to experimenting with materials and techniques. "L'olive De Messire Joachim Du Bellay: Femme À La Mandoline, Relief En Cire Polychrome" not only highlights Cros's technical prowess but also his ability to evoke the spirit of the Renaissance through a contemporary medium, making it a valuable piece for understanding the intersections of history, art, and technique in late 19th-century France.
