Painting Description
"Bernard Germain Etienne de Laville (1756-1825), Comte de Lacépède" is an oil painting by French artist Paulin Jean Baptiste Guérin, created in the early 19th century. The portrait features Bernard Germain Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, Comte de Lacépède, a prominent French naturalist and politician known for his work in the fields of herpetology and ichthyology, as well as his contributions to the Encyclopédie méthodique. Lacépède was a successor to Buffon as the head of the French Royal Garden, later the Jardin des Plantes, and a member of the French Academy of Sciences.
Guérin, a respected portraitist of his time, was known for his ability to capture the essence and stature of his subjects, often depicting notable figures of the French society. In this portrait, Guérin portrays Lacépède with a dignified poise, reflecting his status and intellectual prominence. The painting is a testament to the artistic and cultural milieu of post-revolutionary France, where the interplay between art, science, and politics was particularly pronounced.
The artwork serves as both a historical record and a piece of aesthetic significance, offering insight into the era's artistic conventions and the societal role of scholars like Lacépède. The portrait of Bernard Germain Etienne de Laville, Comte de Lacépède, is an important work for those studying French portraiture, the history of natural sciences, and the legacy of Enlightenment thinkers.
