Painting Description
"Marie Thérèse Louise de Savoie-Carignan, Princess of Lamballe" is a portrait by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle, a French artist and writer known for his portraits and landscape gardens. Born in 1749 and tragically killed in the French Revolution in 1792, the Princess of Lamballe was a close friend and confidante of Queen Marie Antoinette and served as the Superintendent of the Queen's Household. Her life epitomized the opulence and subsequent turmoil of the French aristocracy in the late 18th century.
Carmontelle's portrayal of the princess captures her in a moment of serene elegance, reflecting her position within the French court and her intimate association with the queen. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the French nobility prior to the Revolution. The portrait is a testament to the princess's legacy and the era's cultural milieu.
As an artist, Carmontelle was renowned for his "transparentes," a type of gouache painting on translucent paper, which was then illuminated from behind. His work was characterized by a lightness of touch and a keen eye for detail, which is evident in the delicate rendering of the Princess of Lamballe's features and attire. The portrait is a fine example of Carmontelle's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his subjects, making it an important piece in the study of 18th-century French portraiture.
The Princess of Lamballe's portrait by Carmontelle holds a place in art history as a representation of the ancien régime's sophistication and its eventual downfall. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic qualities and as a poignant reminder of the princess's fate during one of the most tumultuous periods in French history.
