"Madame Récamier", de (by) Jacques-Louis David (1800)

"Madame Récamier", de Jacques-Louis David (1800). 


Obra datada en el 1800, la cual retrata a Juliette, esposa de un poderoso banquero procedente de Lyon. La joven siempre presumió de ser casta, no pudiendo tomar su flor, según la tradición, ni siquiera su marido. Su pose es seductora e invita al espectador a sentir una fuerte lujuria, incluso mediante detalles aparentemente inocentes, como sus pies descalzos, los que además la divinizan al modo de los emperadores romanos. El deseo sexual, sin embargo, se frena a través de los ropajes de corte clásico, los cuales, cubren el cuerpo de la doncella. Su peinado y el mobiliario estilo Imperio recalcan no sólo el neoclasicismo del pintor, sino los ideales de la Ilustración, la calma y el raciocinio, siempre en un ambiente coetáneo. La sobriedad del cromatismo se rompe con la luz que incide en el vestido blanco; capta la mirada del sujeto, mientras que el color en sí mismo tiene un valor simbólico al sugerir virginidad, pureza y recato. 

The artwork dating from 1800, which portrays Juliette, wife of a powerful banker from Lyon. She always boasted of being chaste, not being able to take your flower, according to tradition, not even her husband. His pose is seductive and invites the viewer to feel a strong lust, even by seemingly innocent detail, as her bare feet, also deify the way the Roman emperors. Sexual desire , however, is braked by the garb of classic cut, which, covering the body of the girl. His hair and Empire style furniture emphasize not only the neoclassicism of the painter, but the ideals of the Enlightenment, calm and reasoning, always in a contemporary environment. Chromatic sobriety breaks the light striking white dress; She catches the eye of the subject, while the color itself has a symbolic value by suggesting virginity, purity and modesty.
