Painting Description
"Marie Thérèse d'Albert d'Ailly, Marquise du Plessis-Bellière" is a portrait by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle, a French artist and writer known for his portraits and landscape gardens. Carmontelle, born in Paris in 1717 and died in 1806, was a prominent figure in the French Enlightenment and served as a draughtsman and designer for the Duke of Orléans.
The portrait in question depicts Marie Thérèse d'Albert d'Ailly, who held the title of Marquise du Plessis-Bellière. The Marquise was a member of the French nobility during the 18th century, a time when portraits were a popular means of asserting status and wealth. Carmontelle's work is characterized by its delicate and informal style, often capturing his subjects in a naturalistic and intimate manner, which contrasted with the more formal and grandiose portraits of the time.
The artwork is significant for its representation of the fashion and cultural milieu of the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Carmontelle's portraits are valuable for their historical and artistic merit, providing insight into the social and cultural life of the period.
As an artist, Carmontelle was known for his "transparent" or "gouache" technique, where the painting was done on thin, translucent paper, backed with a fine canvas, which allowed for a luminous quality to the work. This technique may have been employed in the portrait of the Marquise du Plessis-Bellière, contributing to the ethereal and light feeling of the painting.
The portrait of Marie Thérèse d'Albert d'Ailly, Marquise du Plessis-Bellière, is an important work within Carmontelle's oeuvre and serves as an example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, as well as the stylistic preferences of the French elite before the Revolution. The painting is not only a piece of art but also a document of the time, reflecting the social hierarchy, fashion, and cultural values of 18th-century France.
