18th Century Portrait of a Gentleman French School Man Oil on Canvas Blue White

About the Item

Painting, oil on canvas, measuring 92 x 75 cm without frame and 102 x 87 cm with frame depicting a nobleman of the French school of the first half of the 18th century. In its formal simplification, this simple image with the unkempt hair with the gaze turned toward the viewer does not disregard the intense expressive characterization of this face, framed frontally but with a full bust. This canvas realistically and colorfully depicts an important figure of high French rank; it is a work with all the characteristics and stylistic connotations of the great French masters. The use of blue and pinkish hues in the draperies and the monochrome background make the face of the protagonist stand out, appearing polished and luminous with the addition of a few simple and elegant gestures and precious objects. The paintings and works of art published here are my exclusive property and therefore are always available to be viewed, by appointment, in my exhibition sites located in Sanremo and Brescia.

  • Portrait of a Lady with her Hair Adorned with Flowers, 18th Century French
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on canvas Image size: 21 1/2 x 17 3/4 inches (55 x 45 cm) Original gilt frame In this portrait this young woman is depicted facing forward with her head slightly raised and turned left towards the viewer. She is dressed in a blue satin dress. The low-cut drapery, exposing her décolletage, was not unusual for the time as 18th century women would often wear their dresses off-the-shoulder or fitted with a very open neckline. Her perfectly oval face is enlivened by wide brown eyes, full cheeks and a mouth that sketches a half smile. Her cheeks rose with blush, which was a popular cosmetic style during the Rococo period and contrasts with her ivory skin and powdered hair. Her tied hair is studded with many flowers and the ribbon around the woman's throat accentuates her bare neck. Alexander Roslin Alexander Roslin was one of the most important portrait painters of Europe in the 18th century. He was born in Malmö in Sweden but soon moved into Europe to paint at various royal courts. From 1750 on he worked mainly in Paris. Here he was destined to achieve great success. He had collected letters of recommendation on his journey through Europe, including that of the Duchess of Parma, the sister-in-law of Louis XV. Soon he was admitted to the court and the Royal Academy in Paris and when he married in 1759 he was the most wanted artist in Paris for portraits. He was married to the miniature painter Marie Suzanne Giroust. Although he painted mainly French nobility...
