"Arrangement in Black and Gold: Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac" is a notable painting by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1891-1892. This work is part of Whistler's renowned series of portraits known for their distinctive style, which emphasizes the aesthetic harmony of color and form over the literal representation of the subject. The painting is a striking example of Whistler's aesthetic principles, which were influenced by his interest in Japanese art and his belief in "art for art's sake."

The subject of the painting, Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac (1855–1921), was a French aesthete, poet, and one of the most flamboyant figures in Parisian society. He was a patron of the arts and a muse to many artists and writers of the time, including Marcel Proust, who is believed to have partly based the character of Baron de Charlus in "In Search of Lost Time" on Montesquiou. Whistler's portrayal of Montesquiou captures the essence of his personality and his status as a symbol of elegance and refinement.

In "Arrangement in Black and Gold," Whistler employs a limited color palette dominated by black and gold tones, creating a sophisticated and harmonious composition. The painting is characterized by its elegant simplicity and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which contribute to the overall mood and the portrayal of Montesquiou's enigmatic persona. Whistler's technique and use of color in this work reflect his mastery in creating portraits that transcend the boundaries of traditional portraiture to become expressions of aesthetic beauty.

The painting is a testament to Whistler's innovative approach to art, which challenged the conventions of his time and contributed to the development of modernist aesthetics. "Arrangement in Black and Gold: Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac" is not only a remarkable portrait of a significant cultural figure of the Belle Époque but also a key example of Whistler's contribution to the art world, demonstrating his ability to capture the essence of his subject while adhering to his aesthetic ideals.
